CI is a data processing platform based on COS. You can use CI features only after binding or creating a COS bucket.
The bucket management page provides the bucket binding, bucket creation, bucket unbinding, and bucket search features.
Prerequisites
You need to log in to the CI Console and click Bucket Management on the left sidebar to enter the bucket list page.
Binding Bucket
You can bind an existing COS bucket in the following steps:
1. Click Bind Bucket to pop up the bucket binding dialog box.
Note:
During the binding, you need to create a preset service role, grant it CI-related permissions, and complete service authorization as prompted.
2. Click the COS bucket to be bound and select whether to enable CDN acceleration.
Note:
Binding a COS bucket is essentially to enable the image processing service for it.
Creating Bucket
You can create a bucket in the following steps:
1. Click Bind Bucket to pop up the bucket binding dialog box.
2. Select Create as the adding method, enter the custom bucket name, select the bucket region, access permission, and whether to enable CDN acceleration, and click OK to quickly create a bucket. The configuration items are as detailed below:
Note:
The new bucket can also be queried in the COS Console. If you want to configure the bucket in a more detailed manner, please go to the COS Console. There can be up to 200 buckets in total in all regions under one account, but the numbers of directories and files in a bucket are not limited.
Bucket Name
A bucket name can contain up to 50 digits, lowercase letters, and hyphens.
The bucket name must be unique in all projects under the same APPID.
Region
The storage service can be used in multiple regions. For the available regions, please see Regions and Domain Names. You can select the bucket region when creating a bucket, and once selected, it cannot be changed. To make access faster, we recommend you select an available region near your users. Access Permission
Three types of bucket access permissions are available by default, i.e., "Private Read/Write", "Public Read/Private Write", and "Public Read/Write". If needed, you can modify the access permission in the COS Console subsequently. Private Read/Write: only the creator of the bucket and authorized accounts can read/write the objects in the bucket, while others cannot.
Public Read/Private Write: anyone (including anonymous visitors) has read permission to the objects in the bucket, but only the bucket creator and authorized accounts have write permission to them.
Public Read/Write: anyone (including anonymous visitors) has read/write permission to the objects in the bucket, which is not recommended.
CDN Acceleration
CDN acceleration is disabled by default. You can enable/disable it as needed. After it is enabled, you can relay files on Tencent Cloud CDN nodes to make the access faster.
Unbinding Bucket
If you no longer use a bucket, you can unbind it.
Click Unbind in the "Operation" column on the right of the target bucket to pop up the bucket unbinding dialog box. Click OK to unbind it.
Note:
Currently, CI does not allow you to delete buckets. Once unbound, a bucket will be deleted from the CI's bucket list, but it and all its contents will be retained in COS. You can go to the COS Console to view it in the bucket list. Searching for Bucket
If you want to query a bucket bound to CI, you can select Bucket name or Bucket tag in the drop-down list on the right for filtering.
