S3-Compatible Object Storage
Store static assets, backups, logs, and unstructured data in a scalable object store that works with the same S3 tools and SDKs you already use.
What Is Object Storage?
Object storage is a data storage architecture that stores files as discrete objects. Each object contains the data itself, metadata describing it, and a unique identifier. Instead of a traditional filesystem hierarchy, you store objects in logical containers called buckets and retrieve them through a simple API.
RamNode Cloud Object Storage is built on an S3-compatible API. This means the same tools, libraries, and applications that work with Amazon S3, such as the AWS CLI, boto3, rclone, s3cmd, and backup software, can also connect to RamNode Object Storage with minimal changes.
What Can You Use Object Storage For?
Object storage is ideal for data that is written once, read often, and accessed from anywhere over the network.
Backups & Archives
Store long-term backups, database dumps, and cold archives independently of your compute instances.
Media & Static Assets
Host images, videos, audio files, and documents for websites, applications, and content delivery workflows.
Static Website Hosting
Serve static HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and assets directly from object storage for simple sites and front ends.
Database Snapshots
Archive point-in-time database exports and snapshots for compliance, disaster recovery, and migration.
Application Logs
Offload and centralize logs from multiple servers into a single, durable, cost-effective store.
Build & Artifact Storage
Store release artifacts, container layers, package caches, and CI/CD outputs in a scalable location.
Why the S3-Compatible API Matters
The S3 API has become the standard for object storage. By exposing an S3-compatible endpoint, RamNode Object Storage lets you reuse existing tooling and integrations instead of learning a new interface.
Works with existing tools. Connect with AWS CLI, boto3, rclone, s3cmd, Cyberduck, and many backup applications.
Standard SDKs. Use the AWS SDK for Python, JavaScript, Go, Java, or any language that supports S3 signatures.
Bucket and object operations. Create and delete buckets, upload objects, list prefixes, and manage access through the familiar API.
Region-specific endpoints. Connect to the endpoint closest to your workloads for low latency and predictable throughput.
Quick S3 API Example
After creating credentials in the RamNode Cloud Panel, you can list buckets with the AWS CLI:
aws s3 ls --endpoint-url https://s3.nl.ramnode.comOr configure a Python script with boto3 using the same endpoint and access keys. See the full guide for credentials, region endpoints, and examples.
