/// CONNECT A PROVIDER / IONOS OBJECT STORAGE

IONOS Object Storage

IONOS Object Storage is S3-compatible and authenticates with an Access Key and Secret Key. It uses path-style addressing and per-region endpoints.

What you need

• An Access Key and Secret Key from IONOS key management.
• The bucket name and the region (for example eu-central-1, eu-south-2, or us-central-1).

Generate a key

1. In the IONOS Data Center Designer (DCD), open Menu → Storage & Backup → Object Storage.
2. Go to Key management and click Generate key.
3. Copy the Access Key and Secret Key — the Secret is shown only once.

Endpoint & region

https://s3.<REGION>.ionoscloud.com — for example https://s3.eu-central-1.ionoscloud.com. Regions include eu-central-1, eu-central-2, eu-central-3, eu-south-2, and us-central-1.

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 and Secret Key.
3. Set the endpoint to https://s3.<REGION>.ionoscloud.com and connect.

Supported features

IONOS Object Storage supports versioning, lifecycle (expiration only), CORS, bucket policy, object tags, and Object Lock.
