Let’s explore the S3 Backup for API Connect.

The testing environment is on OpenShift with ODF installed.

Create Bucket with Noobaa

Create our backup bucket with ODF Noobaa Storage Class

apiVersion: objectbucket.io/v1alpha1
kind: ObjectBucketClaim
metadata:
  name: backup-bucket-claim
  namespace: apic
spec:
  bucketName: backup-bucket #exact name
  storageClassName: openshift-storage.noobaa.io

Check the Object Bucket (ob) is available,

$ oc get ob
NAME                           STORAGE-CLASS                 CLAIM-NAMESPACE   CLAIM-NAME   RECLAIM-POLICY   PHASE   AGE
obc-apic-backup-bucket-claim   openshift-storage.noobaa.io                                  Delete           Bound   12m

Notice the Object Bucket is not namespace scoped, same as the Persistent Volume (pv).

The detail of the access to the bucket is defined in ConfigMap and Secret with the same name of the Object Bucket Claim (obc).

$ oc get cm backup-bucket-claim -o yaml

apiVersion: v1
data:
  BUCKET_HOST: s3.openshift-storage.svc
  BUCKET_NAME: backup-bucket
  BUCKET_PORT: "443"
  BUCKET_REGION: ""
  BUCKET_SUBREGION: ""
kind: ConfigMap
