Object Storage - Endpoints and Object Storage geoavailability


Icons/System/eye-open Created with Sketch. 2417 Views 06.02.2026 Cloud / Object Storage S3

We have designed the Object Storage storage classes to be compatible with S31API, considered as a benchmark in the object storage market. You can therefore use Object Storage with most data management tools via the endpoints defined by region and not storage class.

Object Storage

OVHcloud Object Storage can be accessed through a unique endpoint: https://s3.<region>.io.cloud.ovh.net. This unique endpoint can address all buckets and all objects in both Standard and High Performance storage classes. All operations are supported with this unique endpoint.

The bucket endpoint is a URL, for example https://my-bucket.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net that represents a virtual host style endpoint.

Mapping from AWS S3 tiers to OVHcloud Storage tiers

The mapping for WRITE(PUT) operations on the io endpoint is the following:

  • 3-AZ regions
  • 1-AZ regions

2: The default storage class on the io endpoint will be Standard, i.e. if you don't specify a storage class, your object will be stored in our Standard tier.

The mapping for READ(GET/LIST/HEAD) operations on the io endpoint is the following:

  • 3-AZ regions

_3: The Cold Archive storage class in only available in Paris (EU-WEST-PAR)

Unlike AWS, Express One Zone is treated as a regular storage class by OVHcloud and all our supported S3 compatible features and API operations are available.

Endpoint retrocompatibility

The perf endpoint will be maintained for backward compatibility purposes only, to allow tools that don't support AWS's recent Express_One_Zone storage class to continue operating on our object storage thus we strongly encourage you to migrate to the target io endpoint whenever possible.

Although the io endpoint is be the preferred endpoint to access the OVHcloud Object Storage service, the legacy endpoint https://s3.<region>.perf.cloud.ovh.net will still be maintained for retrocompatibility purposes for tools and applications that do not support the latest AWS Express One Zone storage class. This legacy endpoint will also be able to address all buckets and all objects in both Standard and High Performance storage classes and will support all API operations including listBucket.

The mapping for WRITE(PUT) operations on the perf endpoint is the following:

4: The default storage tier on the perf endpoint will be High Performance, i.e. if you don't specify a storage class, your object will be stored in our High Performance tier.
