HCP Tenant Management Help
These considerations apply to the S3 compatible API:
•You can enable the S3 compatible API for a namespace only while ACLs are enabled for the namespace. For information about enabling ACLs, see Enabling the use of ACLs.
•For users and applications to be able to perform most bucket-level operations with the S3 compatible API, the HCP management API must be enabled for the tenant. For information about enabling the management API, see Controlling access to HCP through the management API.
•For a user or application to be able to create and manage namespaces with the S3 compatible API, the applicable user or group account must have the allow namespace management property enabled. For information about the allow namespace management property, see Managing accounts.
This additional consideration applies when you enable the S3 compatible API for a namespace that was created in an HCP release earlier than 6.0.
After being upgraded from a release earlier than 6.0, HCP generates ETags for objects that were stored before the upgrade. HCP generally does this over time. However, in response to an S3 compatible request to retrieve an object that does not yet have an ETag, HCP immediately generates the ETag before returning the object. This can be time consuming for large objects, with the result that HCP may be slow to respond to the first GET request for such an object. If you are concerned about this issue, please contact your HCP system administrator before enabling the S3 compatible API for the namespace.

Note: An ETag is an identifier for the content of the object. As of release 6.0, HCP generates ETags for objects at the time they are stored. |
