This page describes how to import existing buckets using either AWS S3 or Pure FlashBlade.

AWS S3

Use the following steps to get started with pre-provisioned buckets:

1. Create a new file named pxbucketclass.yaml, replacing region and object.portworx.io/endpoint with your desired AWS S3 region and endpoint:

   apiVersion: object.portworx.io/v1alpha1
   kind: PXBucketClass
   metadata:
     name: pbclass-s3
   region: us-west-1
   deletionPolicy: Delete
   parameters:
     object.portworx.io/backend-type: S3Driver
     object.portworx.io/endpoint: s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com

2. Create the PXBucketClass object:

   kubectl apply -f pxbucketclass.yaml

3. Create a new file named pxbucketaccess.yaml:

   apiVersion: object.portworx.io/v1alpha1
   kind: PXBucketAccess
   metadata:
     name: s3-pba-existing
     namespace: default
   spec:
     bucketClassName: pbclass-s3
     existingBucketId: bucket-name-aws

4. Once the bucket access is granted, its ACCESSGRANTED state will be marked as true in the CustomResource:

   kubectl get pxbucketaccess

   NAME              ACCESSGRANTED   CREDENTIALSSECRETNAME               BUCKETID               BACKENDTYPE
   s3-pba-existing   true            px-os-credentials-s3-pba-existing   existing-bucket-id     S3Driver

5. A secret px-os-credentials-s3-pba-existing will be created with all necessary bucket info:

   kubectl get secret px-os-credentials-s3-pba -o yaml

   apiVersion: v1
   data:
     access-key-id: <ACCESS-KEY-ID>
     bucket-id: <BUCKET-ID>
     endpoint: <ENDPOINT>
     region: <REGION>
     secret-access-key: <SECRET-ACCESS-KEY>
   kind: Secret
   metadata:
     creationTimestamp: "2022-08-03T21:27:25Z"
     finalizers:
     - finalizers.object.portworx.io/access-secret
     name: px-os-credentials-s3-pba
     namespace: default
     resourceVersion: "16022682"
     uid: 49aecbbd-c911-48cf-95ea-9e9d30aba97c
   type: Opaque

Pure FlashBlade

Use the following steps to get started with pre-provisioned buckets:

1. Create a new file named pxbucketclass.yaml, replacing region and object.portworx.io/endpoint with your desired Pure FlashBlade region and endpoint:

   apiVersion: object.portworx.io/v1alpha1
   kind: PXBucketClass
   metadata:
     name: pbclass-fb
   deletionPolicy: Delete
   parameters:
     object.portworx.io/backend-type: PureFBDriver
     object.portworx.io/endpoint: fb.fb.endpoint.example.com

2. Create the PXBucketClass object:

   kubectl apply -f pxbucketclass.yaml

3. Create a new file named pxbucketaccess.yaml:

   apiVersion: object.portworx.io/v1alpha1
   kind: PXBucketAccess
   metadata:
     name: fb-pba-existing
     namespace: default
   spec:
     bucketClassName: pbclass-fb
     existingBucketId: bucket-name-aws

4. Once the bucket access is granted, its ACCESSGRANTED state will be marked as true in the CustomResource:

   kubectl get pxbucketaccess

   NAME              ACCESSGRANTED   CREDENTIALSSECRETNAME               BUCKETID               BACKENDTYPE
   fb-pba-existing   true            px-os-credentials-fb-pba-existing   existing-bucket-id     PureFBDriver

5. A secret px-os-credentials-fb-pba-existing is created with all necessary bucket info:

   kubectl get secret px-os-credentials-fb-pba -o yaml

   apiVersion: v1
   data:
     access-key-id: <ACCESS-KEY-ID>
     bucket-id: <BUCKET-ID>
     endpoint: <ENDPOINT>
     region: <REGION>
     secret-access-key: <SECRET-ACCESS-KEY>
   kind: Secret
   metadata:
     creationTimestamp: "2022-08-03T21:27:25Z"
     finalizers:
     - finalizers.object.portworx.io/access-secret
     name: px-os-credentials-fb-pba
     namespace: default
     resourceVersion: "16022682"
     uid: 49aecbbd-c911-48cf-95ea-9e9d30aba97c
   type: Opaque
