Questions and answers about Object Storage
What is Object Storage?
Object Storage is a universal scalable solution for data storage. It is the perfect choice both for high-load services that require reliable and fast access to data, and for projects with minimal requirements for storage infrastructure.
What can I do with Object Storage?
With Object Storage, you can:
- Store your project files (website or server app) in Object Storage and make access to them either public or private. Files can be in any format.
- Store large archive data (up to 5 TB per file) and make them available only to those you allow access to.
- Enable shared work with data inside a distributed organization.
- Provide access to your data from any place on Earth where internet access is available.
How do I get started with Object Storage?
To get started with Object Storage:
- Sign up for Nebius AI.
- Create a folder.
At this step, you can already use Object Storage via the Nebius AI management console. You can create and delete buckets, as well as upload objects to and download them from buckets. - Get static keys to use the Object Storage HTTP API or available SDKs and apps.
For more detailed instructions, see Getting started with Object Storage.
What data formats can I store?
You can store data in any format. Object Storage saves data in its original form without any modification.
How do I contact technical support?
To contact technical support email at support@nebius.ai.
How much data can I store?
Read the section Quotas and limits in Object Storage.
How can I delete multiple objects at a time?
You can delete multiple objects via the Nebius AI management console.
A service account cannot access a bucket, why is that?
Make sure the service account is added to a group that allows accessing the bucket.
What does Nebius AI do with the data I store in Object Storage?
The data is saved in the form in which it was transmitted by the user.
What data consistency model does Object Storage use?
For overwritable (PUT) and removable (DELETE) objects, the strong consistency model is used.
What AWS S3 features are supported in Object Storage?
Object Storage supports:
- Authorization using static tokens.
- Some HTTP API methods.
Where is my data stored?
Data is stored in data centers located in Finland. For details, see Availability zones.
How is my data protected in Object Storage?
Physical media is located in Nebius AI data centers, which are highly secure facilities.
Data is stored in an encrypted format and none of those who have access to the physical media can read the data.
By default, the storage is accessed via HTTPS.
How do you guarantee the performance of Object Storage?
Object Storage has internal SLAs and SLOs that guarantee a specific speed of sending data to the customer, which, among other things, depend on the storage class.
The Object Storage response time depends on multiple factors:
- Client-side performance (network speed, CPU load, or disk subsystem load).
- The speed of trunk connections, connections between data centers, or client-server connections.
- Performance of Object Storage itself.
This is why we can't specify a particular response time value. However, we do not consider a sharp increase in response time or a marked decrease in the speed of sending data to be the norm, and keep working to improve the technical characteristics of Object Storage.
Can I get logs of my operations with services?
Yes, you can request log records about your resources from Nebius AI services. For more information, see Data requests.
