3. Configure your first object storage
Here are some tips for organizing your content.

To access your object storage from this cloud gateway software you would need access key and secret generated by your provider, if you are using object storage in multi-cloud environment or if the compute engine was not authorized to perform any S3 object access operations.

For AWS EC2 instance created with IAM role that authorizes S3 operations it may not be required to configure the accessId and accessKey within the software. Instead use the option --accessEC2IAM=ROLE option with objbaker. This will acquire S3 credentials from EC2 machine via IAM role. |
Create access file with credentials
Create file v:\etc\.s3wasabi_passwd using notepad and add the access
keyinformation in this format
AccountId:Secret
accessId:accessKey. The acccessId could be account ID, and the accessKey is base64 encoded secret.

By starting filename with dot you would avoid Windows adding any .txt extension to the above file. Also make sure there are no extraneous characters or newlines in this file. This file is accessed by Crossmeta programs as /etc/.s3wasabi_passwd, while WIN32 programs access as v:\etc\.s3wasabi_passwd |
