/// CONNECT A PROVIDER / IMPOSSIBLE CLOUD

Impossible Cloud

Impossible Cloud is S3-compatible and authenticates with an Access Key ID and Secret Access Key. It uses virtual-hosted addressing and region-scoped endpoints.

What you need

• An Access Key ID and Secret Access Key from an Impossible Cloud IAM key.
• The bucket name and the region — the region is embedded in the endpoint host (7 regions, EU-heavy plus US-East).

Create API keys

1. In the Impossible Cloud console, go to IAM → Keys → Add key.
2. Copy the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key — the secret is shown only once.

Endpoint & region

https://<REGION>.storage.impossibleapi.net — the region is embedded in the host, so set the region to match. Impossible Cloud uses virtual-hosted addressing, so standard aws-cli and rclone configs work unmodified.

Connect the Fleet

1. From the Fleet page, click Create Fleet and pick Access Keys; enter a name, the bucket name, and the region.
2. Paste the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.
3. Set the endpoint to https://<REGION>.storage.impossibleapi.net and connect.

Supported features

Impossible Cloud supports versioning, lifecycle, CORS, bucket policy, object tags, and Object Lock (WORM). It has a single storage tier, so there are no storage-class transitions.
