Cloud Object Storage

We have some vaults that requires immutability and objects to be expired by ICOS. Even after enabling object expiration on the storage pool and on the vault and configuring the retention, the objects do not expire. IBM said we also need to configu...

As data lakehouse architectures become increasingly prevalent, the need for open table formats that support ACID transactions, schema evolution, and time travel is critical. This proposal suggests integrating Apache Iceberg into IBM Cloud Object S...

If COS is used as a primary storage for some kind of data, like document management systems or archive data for health applications, it is important or necessary by governmental rules to have a second copy of the data or an air gapped backup of th...

The performance of IBM Cloud Object Storage buckets is currently suboptimal, especially for workloads requiring faster access and throughput. It would be highly beneficial to introduce configurable performance tiers, so users can choose between co...

Inactive sessions close off, which is fine, however when working with IBM support and multiple putty sessions are open its often difficult to keep them alive so adding the timeout option would alleviate this. we increase timeouts on IBM Brocade sw...

I see that there is an API for COS to move objects between one bucket to another bucket of same instance. I guess it allows users to define the new file name to be used to copy to another bucket. However, when i review the similar options, we do n...

Disable COS Instance Deletion if it has any Buckets/Objects. We can delete the COS Instances even if it has child resources like Buckets and Objects in it. This is really a threat to the IBM Cloud COS. If a user gains access and simply click on De...

Given that StrongLoop hasn't yet added openstack v3 authorisation to its loopback-component-storage, which is now mandatory for Bluemix's Object Storage, it would be nice to have still have available the v2 authorisation method. Although there ar...

If someone sets a retention policy on an object/bucket, it would be helpful for select users (e.g. the account owner) to be able to override that and delete it. It's useful to have retention policies to prevent accidentally deleting data or ransom...

Fluor Corporation: Opportunity # TB-HD2S2H7 for $1.6M requires a trash can for Cloud Object Storage. The idea is to have a setting on either the cluster, Object Storage Device or Bucket level where an admin can configure a trash can duration. When...
