Creating a Bucket
Functions
This operation is used to create a bucket with a specified name.

- By default, a user can have a maximum of 100 buckets.
- The name of a deleted bucket can be reused for a bucket or a parallel file system at least 30 minutes after the deletion.
A bucket name must be unique in OBS. If a user creates a bucket with the same name as that of an existing bucket under the same account and in the same region, a 200 code (indicating success) is returned. In scenarios other than the preceding one, the request for creating a bucket with the same name as that of an existing one will receive the 409 code (indicating that a namesake bucket already exists). To set an access control policy for the bucket to be created, you can add the x-obs-acl parameter to request headers.
Storage Class
You can create buckets with different storage classes. The x-obs-storage-class header in a bucket creation request specifies the storage class for a bucket. If you do not specify a storage class when you upload an object to the bucket, the object inherits the storage class of the bucket. There are three storage classes: STANDARD (Standard storage class), WARM (Warm storage class), and COLD (Cold storage class) If this header is not in the request, the storage class of the created bucket is Standard.
If the storage class of an object is not specified when it is uploaded to a bucket (see Uploading Objects - PUT), the object will be stored in the default storage class of the bucket.
- OBS Standard features low access latency and high throughput. It is most suitable for storing frequently accessed (multiple times per month) hot files. Potential application scenarios include big data, mobile applications, trending videos, and social media images.
- OBS Warm storage class is suitable for storing data that is infrequently accessed (less than 12 times a year) yet has quick response requirements. Potential application scenarios include file synchronization or sharing and enterprise backup. It provides the same durability, access latency, and throughput as the Standard storage class but at a lower price. However, the Warm storage class has lower availability than the Standard one.
- OBS Cold storage class is applicable to archiving rarely-accessed (averagely once a year) data. The application scenarios include data archiving and long-term data retention for backup. The Cold storage class is secure, durable, and inexpensive, which can replace tape libraries. To keep cost low, it may take hours to restore data from the Cold storage class.

Request Parameters
This request contains no parameters.
Request Headers
The operation message header is the same as that of a common request. For details, see Table 3. However, this request can contain additional headers. The following table describes the additional headers for this request.
Header |
Description |
Mandatory |
---|---|---|
x-obs-acl |
When creating a bucket, you can add this header to set the permission control policy for the bucket. The predefined common policies are as follows: private, public-read, public-read-write, public-read-delivered, and public-read-write-delivered. Type: string |
No |
x-obs-storage-class |
When creating a bucket, you can add this header to specify the default storage class of the bucket. The default storage classes are as follows: STANDARD (Standard storage class), WARM (Warm storage class), and COLD (Cold storage class). If this header is not in the request, the storage class of the bucket created is Standard. Type: string |
No |
x-obs-grant-read |
This header grants the read permission to all users under an account. It allows you to list objects in a bucket, list multipart tasks in a bucket, list multi-version objects in a bucket, and obtain bucket metadata. Type: string Example: x-obs-grant-read:id=Tenant ID |
No |
x-obs-grant-write |
This header grants the write permission to all users under an account. Therefore, the users can create, delete, and overwrite all objects in a bucket, and can initialize parts, upload parts, copy parts, merge parts, and cancel multipart upload tasks. Type: string Example: x-obs-grant-write:id=Tenant ID |
No |
x-obs-grant-read-acp |
This header grants the ACL read permission to all users under an account. Therefore, the users can read the bucket ACL information. Type: string Example: x-obs-grant-read-acp:id=Account ID |
No |
x-obs-grant-write-acp |
This header grants the ACL write permission to all users under an account. Therefore, the users can modify the ACL of the bucket. Type: string Example: x-obs-grant-write-acp:id=Account ID |
No |
x-obs-grant-full-control |
This header grants the full control permission to all users under an account. Type: string Example: x-obs-grant-full-control:id=Account ID |
No |
x-obs-grant-read-delivered |
This header grants the read permission to all users under an account. By default, the read permission is applied to all objects in the bucket. Type: string Example: x-obs-grant-read-delivered:id=Account ID |
No |
x-obs-grant-full-control-delivered |
This header grants the full control permission to all users under an account. By default, the FULL_CONTROL permission is applied to all objects in the bucket. Type: string Example: x-obs-grant-full-control-delivered:id=Account ID |
No |
x-obs-fs-file-interface |
This header can be carried when you create a bucket as a parallel file system. Type: string Example: x-obs-fs-file-interface:Enabled |
No |
