Object Storage Service:Create a bucket

Last Updated:Oct 17, 2023

A bucket is a container used to store objects in Object Storage Service (OSS). All objects in OSS are stored in buckets. This topic describes how to create a bucket.

Examples

The following code provides an example on how to create a bucket named examplebucket:

require 'aliyun/oss'
client = Aliyun::OSS::Client.new(
  # In this example, the endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. Specify your actual endpoint. 
  endpoint: 'https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com',
  # Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured. 
  access_key_id: ENV['OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'],
  access_key_secret: ENV['OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET']
)
# Specify the name of the bucket. Example: examplebucket. 
client.create_bucket('examplebucket')
