Chapter 12. Caching policy for object buckets A cache bucket is a namespace bucket with a hub target and a cache target. The hub target is an S3 compatible large object storage bucket. The cache bucket is the local Multicloud Object Gateway (MCG) bucket. You can create a cache bucket that caches an AWS bucket or an IBM COS bucket. AWS S3 IBM COS 12.1. Creating an AWS cache bucket Prerequisites Download the Multicloud Object Gateway (MCG) command-line interface binary from the customer portal and make it executable. Note Choose the correct product variant according to your architecture. Available platforms are Linux(x86_64), Windows, and Mac OS. Procedure Create a NamespaceStore resource. A NamespaceStore represents an underlying storage to be used as a read or write target for the data in the MCG namespace buckets. From the MCG command-line interface, run the following command: Replace <namespacestore> with the name of the namespacestore. Replace <AWS ACCESS KEY> and <AWS SECRET ACCESS KEY> with an AWS access key ID and secret access key you created for this purpose. Replace <bucket-name> with an existing AWS bucket name. This argument tells the MCG which bucket to use as a target bucket for its backing store, and subsequently, data storage and administration. You can also add storage resources by applying a YAML. First create a secret with credentials: You must supply and encode your own AWS access key ID and secret access key using Base64, and use the results in place of <AWS ACCESS KEY ID ENCODED IN BASE64> and <AWS SECRET ACCESS KEY ENCODED IN BASE64> . Replace <namespacestore-secret-name> with a unique name. Then apply the following YAML: Replace <namespacestore> with a unique name. Replace <namespacestore-secret-name> with the secret created in the step. Replace <namespace-secret> with the namespace used to create the secret in the step. Replace <target-bucket> with the AWS S3 bucket you created for the namespacestore. Run the following command to create a bucket class: Replace <my-cache-bucket-class> with a unique bucket class name. Replace <backing-store> with the relevant backing store. You can list one or more backingstores separated by commas in this field. Replace <namespacestore> with the namespacestore created in the step. Run the following command to create a bucket using an Object Bucket Claim (OBC) resource that uses the bucket class defined in step 2. Replace <my-bucket-claim> with a unique name. Replace <custom-bucket-class> with the name of the bucket class created in step 2. 12.2. Creating an IBM COS cache bucket Prerequisites Download the Multicloud Object Gateway (MCG) command-line interface binary from the customer portal and make it executable. Note Choose the correct product variant according to your architecture. Available platforms are Linux(x86_64), Windows, and Mac OS. Procedure Create a NamespaceStore resource. A NamespaceStore represents an underlying storage to be used as a read or write target for the data in the MCG namespace buckets. From the MCG command-line interface, run the following command: Replace <namespacestore> with the name of the NamespaceStore. Replace <IBM ACCESS KEY> , <IBM SECRET ACCESS KEY> , <IBM COS ENDPOINT> with an IBM access key ID, secret access key and the appropriate regional endpoint that corresponds to the location of the existing IBM bucket. Replace <bucket-name> with an existing IBM bucket name. This argument tells the MCG which bucket to use as a target bucket for its backing store, and subsequently, data storage and administration. You can also add storage resources by applying a YAML. First, Create a secret with the credentials: You must supply and encode your own IBM COS access key ID and secret access key using Base64, and use the results in place of <IBM COS ACCESS KEY ID ENCODED IN BASE64> and <IBM COS SECRET ACCESS KEY ENCODED IN BASE64> . Replace <namespacestore-secret-name> with a unique name. Then apply the following YAML: Replace <namespacestore> with a unique name. Replace <IBM COS ENDPOINT> with the appropriate IBM COS endpoint. Replace <backingstore-secret-name> with the secret created in the step. Replace <namespace-secret> with the namespace used to create the secret in the step. Replace <target-bucket> with the AWS S3 bucket you created for the namespacestore. Run the following command to create a bucket class: Replace <my-bucket-class> with a unique bucket class name. Replace <backing-store> with the relevant backing store. You can list one or more backingstores separated by commas in this field. Replace <namespacestore> with the namespacestore created in the step. Run the following command to create a bucket using an Object Bucket Claim resource that uses the bucket class defined in step 2. Replace <my-bucket-claim> with a unique name. Replace <custom-bucket-class> with the name of the bucket class created in step 2.
