Common Entities

Bucket and Host Name

There are two methods of accessing the buckets.

The recommended method identifies the buckets as the top-level directory in the URI.

GET /mybucket    
HTTP/1.1 Host: cname.domain.com

The second method identifies the bucket via a virtual bucket host name. For example:

GET / HTTP/1.1 
Host: mybucket.cname.domain.com

To configure virtual hosted buckets, you can either set rgw_dns_name = cname.domain.com in Z1 Storage.conf, or add cname.domain.com to the list of hostnames in your zonegroup configuration. See Z1 Storage Object Gateway - Multisite Configuration for more on zonegroups.

Tip

We recommend the first method, because the second method requires costly domain certification and DNS wild cards.
