Bucket Naming Rules

Your bucket name must meet the following requirements:

• Only lower cased letters, numbers, dashes (-), and dots (.) are allowed in bucket names.
• Bucket names must contain 3 or more characters and cannot be longer than 63 characters.
• Bucket names cannot be ip addresses (ie. 10.0.0.1).
• Bucket names cannot contain the following character sequences:
  • dot-dot (..)
  • dot-dash (.-)
  • dash-dot (-.)
• Bucket names must start and end with a letter or number character.

Additional Considerations

• Each bucket name must be globally unique. If you attempt to create a bucket with a name that already belongs to an existing bucket of any user of Polycloud, then you will receive an error.
• Existing buckets cannot be renamed.

Example Bucket Names

The following are examples of valid bucket names:

• my-polycloud-bucket
• abc-a.asdf
• www.mydomain.com

The following are examples of invalid bucket names:

• MY-Polycloud-Bucket (contains uppercase letters)
• abc_a.asdf (contains underscore)
• ubuntu@www.mydomain.com (contains invalid character – @)
• -1bucket (starts with a dash)
• mybucket. (ends with a dot)
• mybucket.-adf (contains an invalid character sequence)
