Overview

The EIDF S3 Service is an object store with an interface that is compatible with a subset of the Amazon S3 RESTful API.

Service Access

Users should have an EIDF account as described in EIDF Accounts.

Project leads can request an object store allocation through a request to the EIDF helpdesk.

Access keys

Select your project at https://portal.eidf.ac.uk/project/. Your access keys are displayed in the table at the top of the page.

For each account, the quota and the number of buckets that it is permitted to create is shown, as well as the access keys. Click on "Secret" to view the access secret. You will need the access key, the corresponding access secret and the endpoint https://s3.eidf.ac.uk to connect to the EIDF S3 Service with an S3 client.
