/// CONNECT A PROVIDER / ALIBABA CLOUD OSS

Alibaba Cloud OSS

Alibaba Cloud OSS is reachable over an S3-compatible API with a RAM AccessKey pair. OSS requires virtual-hosted-style addressing, and its S3 surface is object-focused — bucket configuration lives in the OSS console.

What you need

• A RAM user AccessKey ID and AccessKey Secret — create a RAM user rather than using the root account, and grant it OSS access.
• The bucket name and its region (e.g. cn-hangzhou, ap-southeast-1).

Create an AccessKey

1. In the RAM console, go to Identities → Users → Create User and enable Programmatic access (AccessKey).
2. Attach an OSS permission policy (e.g. AliyunOSSFullAccess or a scoped one).
3. Copy the AccessKey ID and AccessKey Secret — the secret is shown once.

Endpoint & region

https://s3.oss-<REGION>.aliyuncs.com — for example https://s3.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. OSS is addressed virtual-hosted-style (the bucket is part of the hostname), not path-style.

Connect the Fleet

1. Create Fleet → Access Keys; enter a name, the bucket name, and the region.
2. Paste the AccessKey ID and AccessKey Secret, set the S3 endpoint above, and connect.
