/// CREATE A BUCKET / ORACLE CLOUD OBJECT STORAGE
Create a Oracle Cloud Object Storage bucket
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Object Storage pairs an Always Free tier (10 GB) and low-cost paid storage with an Amazon S3 Compatibility API, so you can drive it from storafleet like any other S3 bucket.
OCI's S3 endpoint embeds your account namespace and uses a special Customer Secret Key — both covered below.
Create an Oracle Cloud account
Sign up at oracle.com/cloud/free and sign in to the OCI Console. You pick a home region at sign-up — note it, since your bucket and endpoint live in a region.
Create a bucket
- Open the navigation menu → Storage → Buckets (under Object Storage & Archive Storage).
- Choose a compartment, then click Create Bucket.
- Enter a bucket name, pick Standard as the default storage tier, optionally enable Object Versioning, and click Create. Note the region identifier shown top-right (e.g.
us-ashburn-1).
Create a Customer Secret Key
- Open the Profile menu → your user name → User Settings.
- Under Resources, select Customer Secret Keys → Generate Secret Key.
- Name it, generate, and copy the Secret Key now; the Access Key appears in the list.
The Secret Key is shown only once. Copy it before closing the dialog.
Find your namespace & endpoint
https://<NAMESPACE>.compat.objectstorage.<REGION>.oraclecloud.com — your namespace (a fixed tenancy-wide string) is under Profile → Tenancy as Object Storage Namespace.
Connect it to storafleet
You now have the bucket name, region, namespace endpoint, and your Customer Secret Key. Head to Connect Oracle Cloud, then the Migration guide to copy data across.
