Object Storage

Object Storage is S3-compatible storage on sovereign Ethiopian infrastructure. Anything that speaks the S3 API — the AWS SDKs, aws-cli, s3cmd, most libraries — works by pointing it at your AletCloud endpoint and keys.

Buckets

• Create a bucket in seconds — pick a plan (included GB capacity), a name, and optionally enable object versioning.
• Choose visibility per bucket: private (default) or public-read for serving assets over a public URL.
• Track usage — used space, object count and quota are shown live; resize to a bigger plan when you need more.
• Organize buckets into projects alongside your apps and servers.

Access and security

• Access keys — generate S3 access key pairs (access key ID + secret); create as many as you need and revoke any key instantly.
• Presigned URLs — for private buckets, mint time-limited signed URLs for downloads (GET) or uploads (PUT).
• Public URLs — public-read buckets serve objects over a direct URL, suitable for images and static assets.

Connect to your apps

Wire a bucket into an AletCloud-hosted app in one click: a scoped key is minted and the standard AWS environment variables (endpoint, region, bucket, credentials) are injected into the app automatically.

Use with any S3 tool

# aws-cli example
aws s3 ls s3://your-bucket \
  --endpoint-url https://<your-endpoint> \
  --profile aletcloud
