Getting started with S3
Using the openstack CLI issue the following command to generate a S3 token
To view all ec2 credentials use issue the following command:
To view access and secret keys issue the following command:
Note
credential-id is obtained from credentials list command
Using S3 boto3
S3 boto3 is a python library that can be imported into your python code to perform object tasks such as, uploading, deleting and reading objects from a Flex Object endpoint.
Using the access and secret keys from the commands above you can start using Flex Object storage in your python application. An example of using S3 Boto3 in python can be found here:
import boto3
import botocore
boto3.set_stream_logger(name='botocore') # this enables debug tracing
session = boto3.session.Session()
s3_client = session.client(
service_name='s3',
aws_access_key_id='ACCESS',
aws_secret_access_key='SECRET',
endpoint_url='https://YOUR.ENDPOINT.HOST/',
# The next option is only required because my provider only offers "version 2"
# authentication protocol. Otherwise this would be 's3v4' (the default, version 4).
config=botocore.client.Config(signature_version='s3'),
)
s3_client.list_objects(Bucket='bucket_name')

Rclone
Rclone is a powerful sync tool, much like rsync, Rclone can sync local and remote containers and buckets.
Setup is simple, download rclone from Rclone Download Once downloaded configuration for Flex Object / Swift can be found here: Rclone setup for Swift
