Storage Documentation
Comprehensive guides for configuring, securing, and scaling your CloudNexus object storage infrastructure.
Getting Started with CloudNexus Storage
Learn how to create your first bucket, understand regional availability, and navigate the storage dashboard.
Creating Your First Bucket
Step-by-step instructions for provisioning storage buckets with optimal configurations for your workload.
Uploading Files via Web Console
Master the drag-and-drop interface, bulk uploads, and progress tracking in the CloudNexus dashboard.
Using the S3-Compatible API
Connect your applications using standard S3 protocols. Includes endpoint configuration and authentication examples.
Setting Up Static Website Hosting
Deploy frontend applications directly from storage with custom domains, index pages, and error handling.
Configuring Lifecycle Policies
Automate data transition between storage tiers and schedule expiration rules to optimize costs.
Enabling Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS)
Configure CORS rules safely to allow frontend applications to interact directly with your storage endpoints.
Managing Access Control Lists (ACLs)
Define granular permissions for users, roles, and third-party services using bucket and object-level ACLs.
Using Presigned URLs for Secure Access
Generate temporary, time-limited URLs for safe file uploads and downloads without exposing credentials.
Configuring Versioning
Enable object versioning to protect against accidental deletes and overwrites. Learn to retrieve and manage history.
Setting Up Cross-Region Replication
Automatically replicate objects across geographic regions for disaster recovery and low-latency access.
Monitoring Storage Usage & Metrics
Utilize built-in dashboards and CloudWatch-compatible APIs to track bandwidth, requests, and capacity.
Optimizing Costs with Tiered Storage
Understand Standard, Infrequent, Archive, and Deep Archive tiers. Learn when to migrate data automatically.
Integrating with CloudNexus Compute
Mount storage to VMs and containers securely using internal endpoints and service accounts.
Securing Data with Server-Side Encryption
Enable AES-256 or KMS-backed encryption at rest. Manage encryption keys and compliance standards.
Implementing Client-Side Encryption
Encrypt payloads before they leave your application using our SDKs and Bring-Your-Own-Key (BYOK) support.
Using Storage with Terraform
Infrastructure-as-Code examples for provisioning buckets, policies, and IAM bindings declaratively.
CLI Reference & Best Practices
Complete command reference for the `cnx-storage` CLI. Covers sync, cp, rm, and concurrency tuning.
Migrating Data from AWS S3
Seamless migration strategies using `s3cmd`, `rclone`, and our dedicated import service with zero downtime.
Migrating Data from Azure Blob
Step-by-step migration guide preserving metadata, ACLs, and version history from Microsoft Azure.
Setting Up Object Lock for Compliance
Implement WORM (Write-Once-Read-Many) policies to meet regulatory requirements like FINRA and GDPR.
Configuring Event Notifications
Trigger functions, webhooks, or message queues automatically when objects are created, modified, or deleted.
Using Storage for CI/CD Artifacts
Optimize pipelines by storing Docker images, build outputs, and release packages with lifecycle management.
Advanced Backup Strategies
Design resilient backup architectures combining snapshots, cross-region replication, and offline tape archiving.
Troubleshooting Common Upload Errors
Diagnose and resolve 403 Forbidden, 503 Slow Down, and multipart upload failures with actionable fixes.
Performance Tuning for Large Files
Optimize multipart thresholds, concurrency, and network settings for terabyte-scale transfers.
Audit Logs & Compliance Reporting
Export detailed access logs, generate compliance reports, and integrate with SIEM platforms.
