Cloud / Object Storage S3
We have designed the Object Storage storage classes to be compatible with the S31-compatible API, 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, 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 through this unique endpoint.
List of available regions
| Geographic zone | Region name | Region To be entered in lower case | Protocol | Signature version | Deployment mode | Storage tier supported |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Europe | Gravelines | gra | HTTPS | 4 | 1-AZ region | High Performance, Standard, Infrequent Access |
| Roubaix | rbx | HTTPS | 4 | 1-AZ region | High Performance, Standard, Infrequent Access | |
| Strasbourg | sbg | HTTPS | 4 | 1-AZ region | High Performance, Standard, Infrequent Access | |
| Paris | eu-west-par | HTTPS | 4 | 3-AZ region | Standard, Infrequent Access, Active Archive and Cold Archive | |
| Milan | eu-south-mil | HTTPS | 4 | 3-AZ region | Standard, Infrequent Access and Active Archive | |
| Frankfurt | de | HTTPS | 4 | 1-AZ region | High Performance, Standard, Infrequent Access | |
| London | uk | HTTPS | 4 | 1-AZ region | High Performance, Standard, Infrequent Access | |
| Warsaw | waw | HTTPS | 4 | 1-AZ region | High Performance, Standard, Infrequent Access | |
| North America (excluding USA) | Beauharnois | bhs | HTTPS | 4 | 1-AZ region | High Performance, Standard, Infrequent Access |
| Toronto | ca-east-tor | HTTPS | 4 | 1-AZ region | High Performance, Standard, Infrequent Access | |
| Asia-Pacific | Singapore | sgp | HTTPS | 4 | 1-AZ region | High Performance, Standard, Infrequent Access |
| Sydney | ap-southeast-syd | HTTPS | 4 | 1-AZ region | High Performance, Standard, Infrequent Access | |
| Mumbai | ap-south-mum | HTTPS | 4 | 1-AZ region | High Performance, Standard, Infrequent Access |
The bucket endpoint is a URL, for example https://<bucket_name>.s3.<region>.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:
| AWS | OVHcloud before 2026-01-03 | OVHcloud from 2026-01-03 |
|---|---|---|
| EXPRESS_ONEZONE | High Performance | High Performance |
| STANDARD | Standard | Standard |
| INTELLIGENT_TIERING | ||
| default2 | ||
| STANDARD_IA | Infrequent Access | Infrequent Access |
| ONEZONE_IA | ||
| GLACIER_IR | Active Archive | |
| GLACIER | ||
| DEEP_ARCHIVE | Cold Archive3 | Cold Archive3 |
| AWS | OVHcloud |
|---|---|
| EXPRESS_ONEZONE | High Performance |
| STANDARD | Standard |
| INTELLIGENT_TIERING | |
| default2 | |
| STANDARD_IA | Infrequent Access |
| ONEZONE_IA | |
| GLACIER_IR | |
| GLACIER | |
| DEEP_ARCHIVE |
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:
| AWS | OVHcloud before 2026-01-03 | OVHcloud from 2026-01-03 |
|---|---|---|
| EXPRESS_ONEZONE | High Performance | High Performance |
| STANDARD | Standard | Standard |
| STANDARD_IA | Infrequent Access | Infrequent Access |
| GLACIER_IR | - | Active Archive |
| DEEP_ARCHIVE | Cold Archive3 | Cold Archive3 |
| AWS | OVHcloud |
|---|---|
| EXPRESS_ONEZONE | High Performance |
| STANDARD | Standard |
| STANDARD_IA | Infrequent Access |
_3: The Cold Archive storage class is 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 backward compatibility
The perf endpoint is 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. We strongly encourage you to migrate to the io endpoint whenever possible.
Although the io endpoint is the preferred endpoint to access OVHcloud Object Storage, the legacy endpoint https://s3.<region>.perf.cloud.ovh.net is maintained for backward compatibility for tools and applications that do not support the latest AWS Express One Zone storage class. This legacy endpoint can also address all buckets and all objects in both Standard and High Performance storage classes and supports all API operations, including listBucket.
The mapping for WRITE(PUT) operations on the perf endpoint is the following:
| AWS | OVHcloud |
|---|---|
| EXPRESS_ONEZONE | High Performance |
| STANDARD | |
| default4 | |
| STANDARD_IA | Standard |
| INTELLIGENT_TIERING | |
| ONEZONE_IA | |
| GLACIER_IR | Infrequent Access |
| GLACIER | |
| DEEP_ARCHIVE |
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.
The mapping for READ(GET/LIST/HEAD) operations on the perf endpoint is the following:
| AWS | OVHcloud |
|---|---|
| STANDARD | High Performance |
| STANDARD_IA | Standard |
| GLACIER_IR | Infrequent Access |
Object Storage Swift
| Storage solution | endpoint URL | Region available To be entered in lower case |
|---|---|---|
| Object Storage Swift - Standard - Legacy | https://s3.<region>.cloud.ovh.net | Strasbourg: sbg London: uk Frankfurt: de Warsaw: waw Beauharnois: bhs Gravelines: gra |
