Red Hat Ceph Storage 6

Using the various application programming interfaces for Red Hat Ceph Storage

Red Hat Ceph Storage Documentation Team

Abstract

This document provides instructions for Using the various application programming interfaces for Red Hat Ceph Storage running on AMD64 and Intel 64 architectures.
Red Hat is committed to replacing problematic language in our code, documentation, and web properties. We are beginning with these four terms: master, slave, blacklist, and whitelist. Because of the enormity of this endeavor, these changes will be implemented gradually over several upcoming releases. For more details, see our CTO Chris Wright's message.

Chapter 1. Ceph RESTful API

As a storage administrator, you can use the Ceph RESTful API, or simply the Ceph API, provided by the Red Hat Ceph Storage Dashboard to interact with the Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster. You can display information about the Ceph Monitors and OSDs, along with their respective configuration options. You can even create or edit Ceph pools.

The Ceph API uses the following standards:

  • HTTP 1.1
  • JSON
  • MIME and HTTP Content Negotiation
  • JWT

These standards are OpenAPI 3.0 compliant, regulating the API syntax, semantics, content encoding, versioning, authentication, and authorization.

Prerequisites

  • A healthy running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster.
  • Access to the node running the Ceph Manager.

1.1. Versioning for the Ceph API

A main goal for the Ceph RESTful API, is to provide a stable interface. To achieve a stable interface, the Ceph API is built on the following principles:

  • A mandatory explicit default version for all endpoints to avoid implicit defaults.
  • Fine-grain change control per-endpoint.

    • The expected version from a specific endpoint is stated in the HTTP header.

      Syntax

      Accept: application/vnd.ceph.api.vMAJOR.MINOR+json

      Example

      Accept: application/vnd.ceph.api.v1.0+json

      If the current Ceph API server is not able to address that specific version, a 415 - Unsupported Media Type response will be returned.

  • Using semantic versioning.

    • Major changes are backwards incompatible. Changes might result in non-additive changes to the request, and to the response formats for a specific endpoint.
    • Minor changes are backwards and forwards compatible. Changes consist of additive changes to the request or response formats for a specific endpoint.

1.2. Authentication and authorization for the Ceph API

Access to the Ceph RESTful API goes through two checkpoints. The first is authenticating that the request is done on the behalf of a valid, and existing user. Secondly, is authorizing the previously authenticated user can do a specific action, such as creating, reading, updating, or deleting, on the target end point.

Before users start using the Ceph API, they need a valid JSON Web Token (JWT). The /api/auth endpoint allows you to retrieve this token.

Example

[root@mon ~]# curl -X POST "https://example.com:8443/api/auth" \
  -H  "Accept: application/vnd.ceph.api.v1.0+json" \
  -H  "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"username": user1, "password": password1}'

This token must be used together with every API request by placing it within the Authorization HTTP header.

Syntax

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN" ...

1.3. Enabling and Securing the Ceph API module

The Red Hat Ceph Storage Dashboard module offers the RESTful API access to the storage cluster over an SSL-secured connection.

Important

If disabling SSL, then user names and passwords are sent unencrypted to the Red Hat Ceph Storage Dashboard.

Prerequisites

  • Root-level access to a Ceph Monitor node.
  • Ensure that you have at least one ceph-mgr daemon active.
  • If you use a firewall, ensure that TCP port 8443, for SSL, and TCP port 8080, without SSL, are open on the node with the active ceph-mgr daemon.

Procedure

  1. Log into the Cephadm shell:

    Example

    root@host01 ~]# cephadm shell

  2. Enable the RESTful plug-in:

    [ceph: root@host01 /]# ceph mgr module enable dashboard
  3. Configure an SSL certificate.

    1. If your organization’s certificate authority (CA) provides a certificate, then set using the certificate files:

      Syntax

      ceph dashboard set-ssl-certificate HOST_NAME -i CERT_FILE
      ceph dashboard set-ssl-certificate-key HOST_NAME -i KEY_FILE

      Example

      [ceph: root@host01 /]# ceph dashboard set-ssl-certificate -i dashboard.crt
      [ceph: root@host01 /]# ceph dashboard set-ssl-certificate-key -i dashboard.key

      If you want to set unique node-based certificates, then add a HOST_NAME to the commands:

      Example

      [ceph: root@host01 /]# ceph dashboard set-ssl-certificate host01 -i dashboard.crt
      [ceph: root@host01 /]# ceph dashboard set-ssl-certificate-key host01 -i dashboard.key

    2. Alternatively, you can generate a self-signed certificate. However, using a self-signed certificate does not provide full security benefits of the HTTPS protocol:

      [ceph: root@host01 /]# ceph dashboard create-self-signed-cert
      Warning

      Most modern web browsers will complain about self-signed certificates, which require you to confirm before establishing a secure connection.

  4. Create a user, set the password, and set the role:

    Syntax

    echo -n "PASSWORD" > PATH_TO_FILE/PASSWORD_FILE
    ceph dashboard ac-user-create USER_NAME -i PASSWORD_FILE ROLE

    Example

    [ceph: root@host01 /]# echo -n "p@ssw0rd" > /root/dash-password.txt
    [ceph: root@host01 /]# ceph dashboard ac-user-create user1 -i /root/dash-password.txt administrator

    This example creates a user named user1 with the administrator role.

  5. Connect to the RESTful plug-in web page. Open a web browser and enter the following URL:

    Syntax

    https://HOST_NAME:8443

    Example

    https://host01:8443

    If you used a self-signed certificate, confirm a security exception.

Additional Resources

  • The ceph dashboard --help command.
  • The https://HOST_NAME:8443/doc page, where HOST_NAME is the IP address or name of the node with the running ceph-mgr instance.
  • For more information, see the Security Hardening guide within the Product Documentation for Red Hat Enterprise Linux for your OS version, on the Red Hat Customer Portal.

Chapter 2. Ceph Object Gateway administrative API

As a developer, you can administer the Ceph Object Gateway by interacting with the RESTful application programming interface (API). The Ceph Object Gateway makes available the features of the radosgw-admin command in a RESTful API. You can manage users, data, quotas, and usage which you can integrate with other management platforms.

Note

Red Hat recommends using the command-line interface when configuring the Ceph Object Gateway.

Basic Access Diagram

The administrative API provides the following functionality:

Prerequisites

  • A running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster.
  • A RESTful client.

2.1. Administration operations

An administrative Application Programming Interface (API) request will be done on a URI that starts with the configurable 'admin' resource entry point. Authorization for the administrative API duplicates the S3 authorization mechanism. Some operations require that the user holds special administrative capabilities. The response entity type, either XML or JSON, might be specified as the 'format' option in the request and defaults to JSON if not specified.

Example

PUT /admin/user?caps&format=json HTTP/1.1
Host: FULLY_QUALIFIED_DOMAIN_NAME
Content-Type: text/plain
Authorization: AUTHORIZATION_TOKEN

usage=read

2.2. Administration authentication requests

Amazon’s S3 service uses the access key and a hash of the request header and the secret key to authenticate the request. It has the benefit of providing an authenticated request, especially large uploads, without SSL overhead.

Most use cases for the S3 API involve using open-source S3 clients such as the AmazonS3Client in the Amazon SDK for Java or Python Boto. These libraries do not support the Ceph Object Gateway Admin API. You can subclass and extend these libraries to support the Ceph Admin API. Alternatively, you can create a unique Gateway client.

Creating an execute() method

The CephAdminAPI example class in this section illustrates how to create an execute() method that can take request parameters, authenticate the request, call the Ceph Admin API and receive a response.

The CephAdminAPI class example is not supported or intended for commercial use. It is for illustrative purposes only.

Calling the Ceph Object Gateway

The client code contains five calls to the Ceph Object Gateway to demonstrate CRUD operations:

  • Create a User
  • Get a User
  • Modify a User
  • Create a Subuser
  • Delete a User

To use this example, get the httpcomponents-client-4.5.3 Apache HTTP components. You can download it for example here: http://hc.apache.org/downloads.cgi. Then unzip the tar file, navigate to its lib directory and copy the contents to the /jre/lib/ext directory of the JAVA_HOME directory, or a custom classpath.

As you examine the CephAdminAPI class example, notice that the execute() method takes an HTTP method, a request path, an optional subresource, null if not specified, and a map of parameters. To execute with subresources, for example, subuser, and key, you will need to specify the subresource as an argument in the execute() method.

The example method:

  1. Builds a URI.
  2. Builds an HTTP header string.
  3. Instantiates an HTTP request, for example, PUT, POST, GET, DELETE.
  4. Adds the Date header to the HTTP header string and the request header.
  5. Adds the Authorization header to the HTTP request header.
  6. Instantiates an HTTP client and passes it the instantiated HTTP request.
  7. Makes a request.
  8. Returns a response.

Building the header string

Building the header string is the portion of the process that involves Amazon’s S3 authentication procedure. Specifically, the example method does the following:

  1. Adds a request type, for example, PUT, POST, GET, DELETE.
  2. Adds the date.
  3. Adds the requestPath.

The request type should be uppercase with no leading or trailing white space. If you do not trim white space, authentication will fail. The date MUST be expressed in GMT, or authentication will fail.

The exemplary method does not have any other headers. The Amazon S3 authentication procedure sorts x-amz headers lexicographically. So if you are adding x-amz headers, be sure to add them lexicographically.

Once you have built the header string, the next step is to instantiate an HTTP request and pass it the URI. The exemplary method uses PUT for creating a user and subuser, GET for getting a user, POST for modifying a user and DELETE for deleting a user.

Once you instantiate a request, add the Date header followed by the Authorization header. Amazon’s S3 authentication uses the standard Authorization header, and has the following structure:

Authorization: AWS ACCESS_KEY:HASH_OF_HEADER_AND_SECRET

The CephAdminAPI example class has a base64Sha1Hmac() method, which takes the header string and the secret key for the admin user, and returns a SHA1 HMAC as a base-64 encoded string. Each execute() call will invoke the same line of code to build the Authorization header:

httpRequest.addHeader("Authorization", "AWS " + this.getAccessKey() + ":" + base64Sha1Hmac(headerString.toString(), this.getSecretKey()));

The following CephAdminAPI example class requires you to pass the access key, secret key, and an endpoint to the constructor. The class provides accessor methods to change them at runtime.

2.3. Creating an administrative user

Important

To run the radosgw-admin command from the Ceph Object Gateway node, ensure the node has the admin key. The admin key can be copied from any Ceph Monitor node.

Prerequisites

  • Root-level access to the Ceph Object Gateway node.

Procedure

  1. Create an object gateway user:

    Syntax

    radosgw-admin user create --uid="USER_NAME" --display-name="DISPLAY_NAME"

    Example

    [user@client ~]$ radosgw-admin user create --uid="admin-api-user" --display-name="Admin API User"

    The radosgw-admin command-line interface will return the user.

    Example output

    {
        "user_id": "admin-api-user",
        "display_name": "Admin API User",
        "email": "",
        "suspended": 0,
        "max_buckets": 1000,
        "auid": 0,
        "subusers": [],
        "keys": [
            {
                "user": "admin-api-user",
                "access_key": "NRWGT19TWMYOB1YDBV1Y",
                "secret_key": "gr1VEGIV7rxcP3xvXDFCo4UDwwl2YoNrmtRlIAty"
            }
        ],
        "swift_keys": [],
        "caps": [],
        "op_mask": "read, write, delete",
        "default_placement": "",
        "placement_tags": [],
        "bucket_quota": {
            "enabled": false,
            "max_size_kb": -1,
            "max_objects": -1
        },
        "user_quota": {
            "enabled": false,
            "max_size_kb": -1,
            "max_objects": -1
        },
        "temp_url_keys": []
    }

  2. Assign administrative capabilities to the user you create:

    Syntax

    radosgw-admin caps add --uid="USER_NAME" --caps="users=*"

    Example

    [user@client ~]$ radosgw-admin caps add --uid=admin-api-user --caps="users=*"

    The radosgw-admin command-line interface will return the user. The "caps": will have the capabilities you assigned to the user:

    Example output

    {
        "user_id": "admin-api-user",
        "display_name": "Admin API User",
        "email": "",
        "suspended": 0,
        "max_buckets": 1000,
        "auid": 0,
        "subusers": [],
        "keys": [
            {
                "user": "admin-api-user",
                "access_key": "NRWGT19TWMYOB1YDBV1Y",
                "secret_key": "gr1VEGIV7rxcP3xvXDFCo4UDwwl2YoNrmtRlIAty"
            }
        ],
        "swift_keys": [],
        "caps": [
            {
                "type": "users",
                "perm": "*"
            }
        ],
        "op_mask": "read, write, delete",
        "default_placement": "",
        "placement_tags": [],
        "bucket_quota": {
            "enabled": false,
            "max_size_kb": -1,
            "max_objects": -1
        },
        "user_quota": {
            "enabled": false,
            "max_size_kb": -1,
            "max_objects": -1
        },
        "temp_url_keys": []
    }

    Now you have a user with administrative privileges.

2.15. Bucket notifications

As a storage administrator, you can use these APIs to provide configuration and control interfaces for the bucket notification mechanism. The API topics are named objects that contain the definition of a specific endpoint. Bucket notifications associate topics with a specific bucket. The S3 bucket operations section gives more details on bucket notifications.

Note

In all topic actions, the parameters are URL encoded, and sent in the message body using application/x-www-form-urlencoded content type.

Note

Any bucket notification already associated with the topic needs to be re-created for the topic update to take effect.

Prerequisites

  • Create bucket notifications on the Ceph Object Gateway.

2.15.1. Overview of bucket notifications

Bucket notifications provide a way to send information out of the Ceph Object Gateway when certain events happen in the bucket. Bucket notifications can be sent to HTTP, AMQP0.9.1, and Kafka endpoints. A notification entry must be created to send bucket notifications for events on a specific bucket and to a specific topic. A bucket notification can be created on a subset of event types or by default for all event types. The bucket notification can filter out events based on key prefix or suffix, regular expression matching the keys, and the metadata attributes attached to the object, or the object tags. Bucket notifications have a REST API to provide configuration and control interfaces for the bucket notification mechanism.

Sending a bucket notification when an object is synced to a zone lets the external system get information into the zone syncing status at the object level. The bucket notification event types s3:ObjectSynced:* and s3:ObjectSynced:Created, when configured via the bucket notification mechanism, send a notification event from the synced RGW upon successful sync of an object. Both the topics and the notification configuration should be done separately in each zone from which the notification events are being sent.

2.15.2. Persistent notifications

Persistent notifications enable reliable and asynchronous delivery of notifications from the Ceph Object Gateway to the endpoint configured at the topic. Regular notifications are also reliable because the delivery to the endpoint is performed synchronously during the request. With persistent notifications, the Ceph Object Gateway retries sending notifications even when the endpoint is down or there are network issues during the operations, that is notifications are retried if not successfully delivered to the endpoint. Notifications are sent only after all other actions related to the notified operation are successful. If an endpoint goes down for a longer duration, the notification queue fills up and the S3 operations that have configured notifications for these endpoints will fail.

Note

With kafka-ack-level=none, there is no indication for message failures, and therefore messages sent while broker is down are not retried, when the broker is up again. After the broker is up again, only new notifications are seen.

2.15.3. Creating a topic

You can create topics before creating bucket notifications. A topic is a Simple Notification Service (SNS) entity and all the topic operations, that is, create, delete, list, and get, are SNS operations. The topic needs to have endpoint parameters that are used when a bucket notification is created. Once the request is successful, the response includes the topic Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that can be used later to reference this topic in the bucket notification request.

Note

A topic_arn provides the bucket notification configuration and is generated after a topic is created.

Prerequisites

  • A running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster.
  • Root-level access.
  • Installation of the Ceph Object Gateway.
  • User access key and secret key.
  • Endpoint parameters.

Procedure

  1. Create a topic with the following request format:

    Syntax

    POST
    Action=CreateTopic
    &Name=TOPIC_NAME
    [&Attributes.entry.1.key=amqp-exchange&Attributes.entry.1.value=EXCHANGE]
    [&Attributes.entry.2.key=amqp-ack-level&Attributes.entry.2.value=none|broker|routable]
    [&Attributes.entry.3.key=verify-ssl&Attributes.entry.3.value=true|false]
    [&Attributes.entry.4.key=kafka-ack-level&Attributes.entry.4.value=none|broker]
    [&Attributes.entry.5.key=use-ssl&Attributes.entry.5.value=true|false]
    [&Attributes.entry.6.key=ca-location&Attributes.entry.6.value=FILE_PATH]
    [&Attributes.entry.7.key=OpaqueData&Attributes.entry.7.value=OPAQUE_DATA]
    [&Attributes.entry.8.key=push-endpoint&Attributes.entry.8.value=ENDPOINT]
    [&Attributes.entry.9.key=persistent&Attributes.entry.9.value=true|false]

    Here are the request parameters:

    • Endpoint: URL of an endpoint to send notifications to.
    • OpaqueData: opaque data is set in the topic configuration and added to all notifications triggered by the topic.
    • persistent: indication of whether notifications to this endpoint are persistent that is asynchronous or not. By default the value is false.
    • HTTP endpoint:

      • URL: https://FQDN:PORT
      • port defaults to: Use 80/443 for HTTP[S] accordingly.
      • verify-ssl: Indicates whether the server certificate is validated by the client or not. By default , it is true.
    • AMQP0.9.1 endpoint:

      • URL: amqp://USER:PASSWORD@FQDN:PORT[/VHOST].
      • User and password defaults to: guest and guest respectively.
      • User and password details should be provided over HTTPS, otherwise the topic creation request is rejected.
      • port defaults to: 5672.
      • vhost defaults to: “/”
      • amqp-exchange: The exchanges must exist and be able to route messages based on topics. This is a mandatory parameter for AMQP0.9.1. Different topics pointing to the same endpoint must use the same exchange.
      • amqp-ack-level: No end to end acknowledgment is required, as messages may persist in the broker before being delivered into their final destination. Three acknowledgment methods exist:

        • none: Message is considered delivered if sent to the broker.
        • broker: By default, the message is considered delivered if acknowledged by the broker.
        • routable: Message is considered delivered if the broker can route to a consumer.

          Note

          The key and value of a specific parameter do not have to reside in the same line, or in any specific order, but must use the same index. Attribute indexing does not need to be sequential or start from any specific value.

          Note

          The topic-name is used for the AMQP topic.

    • Kafka endpoint:

      • URL: kafka://USER:PASSWORD@FQDN:PORT.
      • use-ssl is set to false by default. If use-ssl is set to true, secure connection is used for connecting with the broker.
      • If ca-location is provided, and secure connection is used, the specified CA will be used, instead of the default one, to authenticate the broker.
      • User and password can only be provided over HTTP[S]. Otherwise, the topic creation request is rejected.
      • User and password may only be provided together with use-ssl, otherwise, the connection to the broker will fail.
      • port defaults to: 9092.
      • kafka-ack-level: no end to end acknowledgment required, as messages may persist in the broker before being delivered into their final destination. Two acknowledgment methods exist:

        • none: message is considered delivered if sent to the broker.
        • broker: By default, the message is considered delivered if acknowledged by the broker.

The following is an example of the response format:

Example

<CreateTopicResponse xmlns="https://sns.amazonaws.com/doc/2010-03-31/">
    <CreateTopicResult>

Chapter 3. Ceph Object Gateway and the S3 API

As a developer, you can use a RESTful application programming interface (API) that is compatible with the Amazon S3 data access model. You can manage the buckets and objects stored in a Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster through the Ceph Object Gateway.

Prerequisites

  • A running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster.
  • A RESTful client.

3.1. S3 limitations

Important

The following limitations should be used with caution. There are implications related to your hardware selections, so you should always discuss these requirements with your Red Hat account team.

  • Maximum object size when using Amazon S3: Individual Amazon S3 objects can range in size from a minimum of 0B to a maximum of 5TB. The largest object that can be uploaded in a single PUT is 5GB. For objects larger than 100MB, you should consider using the Multipart Upload capability.
  • Maximum metadata size when using Amazon S3: There is no defined limit on the total size of user metadata that can be applied to an object, but a single HTTP request is limited to 16,000 bytes.
  • The amount of data overhead Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster produces to store S3 objects and metadata: The estimate here is 200-300 bytes plus the length of the object name. Versioned objects consume additional space proportional to the number of versions. Also, transient overhead is produced during multi-part upload and other transactional updates, but these overheads are recovered during garbage collection.

Additional Resources

3.2. Accessing the Ceph Object Gateway with the S3 API

As a developer, you must configure access to the Ceph Object Gateway and the Secure Token Service (STS) before you can start using the Amazon S3 API.

Prerequisites

  • A running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster.
  • A running Ceph Object Gateway.
  • A RESTful client.

3.2.1. S3 authentication

Requests to the Ceph Object Gateway can be either authenticated or unauthenticated. Ceph Object Gateway assumes unauthenticated requests are sent by an anonymous user. Ceph Object Gateway supports canned ACLs.

For most use cases, clients use existing open source libraries like the Amazon SDK’s AmazonS3Client for Java, and Python Boto. With open source libraries you simply pass in the access key and secret key and the library builds the request header and authentication signature for you. However, you can create requests and sign them too.

Authenticating a request requires including an access key and a base 64-encoded hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC) in the request before it is sent to the Ceph Object Gateway server. Ceph Object Gateway uses an S3-compatible authentication approach.

Example

HTTP/1.1
PUT /buckets/bucket/object.mpeg
Host: cname.domain.com
Date: Mon, 2 Jan 2012 00:01:01 +0000
Content-Encoding: mpeg
Content-Length: 9999999

Authorization: AWS ACCESS_KEY:HASH_OF_HEADER_AND_SECRET

In the above example, replace ACCESS_KEY with the value for the access key ID followed by a colon (:). Replace HASH_OF_HEADER_AND_SECRET with a hash of a canonicalized header string and the secret corresponding to the access key ID.

Generate hash of header string and secret

To generate the hash of the header string and secret:

  1. Get the value of the header string.
  2. Normalize the request header string into canonical form.
  3. Generate an HMAC using a SHA-1 hashing algorithm.
  4. Encode the hmac result as base-64.

Normalize header

To normalize the header into canonical form:

  1. Get all content- headers.
  2. Remove all content- headers except for content-type and content-md5.
  3. Ensure the content- header names are lowercase.
  4. Sort the content- headers lexicographically.
  5. Ensure you have a Date header AND ensure the specified date uses GMT and not an offset.
  6. Get all headers beginning with x-amz-.
  7. Ensure that the x-amz- headers are all lowercase.
  8. Sort the x-amz- headers lexicographically.
  9. Combine multiple instances of the same field name into a single field and separate the field values with a comma.
  10. Replace white space and line breaks in header values with a single space.
  11. Remove white space before and after colons.
  12. Append a new line after each header.
  13. Merge the headers back into the request header.

Replace the HASH_OF_HEADER_AND_SECRET with the base-64 encoded HMAC string.

3.2.2. S3-server-side encryption

The Ceph Object Gateway supports server-side encryption of uploaded objects for the S3 application programming interface (API). Server-side encryption means that the S3 client sends data over HTTP in its unencrypted form, and the Ceph Object Gateway stores that data in the Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster in encrypted form.

Note

Red Hat does NOT support S3 object encryption of Static Large Object (SLO) or Dynamic Large Object (DLO).

Important

To use encryption, client requests MUST send requests over an SSL connection. Red Hat does not support S3 encryption from a client unless the Ceph Object Gateway uses SSL. However, for testing purposes, administrators can disable SSL during testing by setting the rgw_crypt_require_ssl configuration setting to false at runtime, using the ceph config set client.rgw command, and then restarting the Ceph Object Gateway instance.

In a production environment, it might not be possible to send encrypted requests over SSL. In such a case, send requests using HTTP with server-side encryption.

For information about how to configure HTTP with server-side encryption, see the Additional Resources section below.

There are two options for the management of encryption keys:

Customer-provided Keys

When using customer-provided keys, the S3 client passes an encryption key along with each request to read or write encrypted data. It is the customer’s responsibility to manage those keys. Customers must remember which key the Ceph Object Gateway used to encrypt each object.

Ceph Object Gateway implements the customer-provided key behavior in the S3 API according to the Amazon SSE-C specification.

Since the customer handles the key management and the S3 client passes keys to the Ceph Object Gateway, the Ceph Object Gateway requires no special configuration to support this encryption mode.

Key Management Service

When using a key management service, the secure key management service stores the keys and the Ceph Object Gateway retrieves them on demand to serve requests to encrypt or decrypt data.

Ceph Object Gateway implements the key management service behavior in the S3 API according to the Amazon SSE-KMS specification.

Important

Currently, the only tested key management implementations are HashiCorp Vault, and OpenStack Barbican. However, OpenStack Barbican is a Technology Preview and is not supported for use in production systems.

3.2.3. S3 access control lists

Ceph Object Gateway supports S3-compatible Access Control Lists (ACL) functionality. An ACL is a list of access grants that specify which operations a user can perform on a bucket or on an object. Each grant has a different meaning when applied to a bucket versus applied to an object:

Table 3.1. User Operations
PermissionBucketObject

READ

Grantee can list the objects in the bucket.

Grantee can read the object.

WRITE

Grantee can write or delete objects in the bucket.

N/A

READ_ACP

Grantee can read bucket ACL.

Grantee can read the object ACL.

WRITE_ACP

Grantee can write bucket ACL.

Grantee can write to the object ACL.

FULL_CONTROL

Grantee has full permissions for object in the bucket.

Grantee can read or write to the object ACL.

3.2.4. Preparing access to the Ceph Object Gateway using S3

You have to follow some pre-requisites on the Ceph Object Gateway node before attempting to access the gateway server.

Prerequisites

  • Installation of the Ceph Object Gateway software.
  • Root-level access to the Ceph Object Gateway node.

Procedure

  1. As root, open port 8080 on the firewall:

    [root@rgw ~]# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=8080/tcp --permanent
    [root@rgw ~]# firewall-cmd --reload
  2. Add a wildcard to the DNS server that you are using for the gateway as mentioned in the Object Gateway Configuration and Administration Guide.

    You can also set up the gateway node for local DNS caching. To do so, execute the following steps:

    1. As root, install and setup dnsmasq:

      [root@rgw ~]# yum install dnsmasq
      [root@rgw ~]# echo "address=/.FQDN_OF_GATEWAY_NODE/IP_OF_GATEWAY_NODE" | tee --append /etc/dnsmasq.conf
      [root@rgw ~]# systemctl start dnsmasq
      [root@rgw ~]# systemctl enable dnsmasq

      Replace IP_OF_GATEWAY_NODE and FQDN_OF_GATEWAY_NODE with the IP address and FQDN of the gateway node.

    2. As root, stop NetworkManager:

      [root@rgw ~]# systemctl stop NetworkManager
      [root@rgw ~]# systemctl disable NetworkManager
    3. As root, set the gateway server’s IP as the nameserver:

      [root@rgw ~]# echo "DNS1=IP_OF_GATEWAY_NODE" | tee --append /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
      [root@rgw ~]# echo "IP_OF_GATEWAY_NODE FQDN_OF_GATEWAY_NODE" | tee --append /etc/hosts
      [root@rgw ~]# systemctl restart network
      [root@rgw ~]# systemctl enable network
      [root@rgw ~]# systemctl restart dnsmasq

      Replace IP_OF_GATEWAY_NODE and FQDN_OF_GATEWAY_NODE with the IP address and FQDN of the gateway node.

    4. Verify subdomain requests:

      [user@rgw ~]$ ping mybucket.FQDN_OF_GATEWAY_NODE

      Replace FQDN_OF_GATEWAY_NODE with the FQDN of the gateway node.

      Warning

      Setting up the gateway server for local DNS caching is for testing purposes only. You won’t be able to access the outside network after doing this. It is strongly recommended to use a proper DNS server for the Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster and gateway node.

  3. Create the radosgw user for S3 access carefully as mentioned in the Object Gateway Configuration and Administration Guide and copy the generated access_key and secret_key. You will need these keys for S3 access and subsequent bucket management tasks.

3.2.5. Accessing the Ceph Object Gateway using Ruby AWS S3

You can use Ruby programming language along with aws-s3 gem for S3 access. Execute the steps mentioned below on the node used for accessing the Ceph Object Gateway server with Ruby AWS::S3.

Prerequisites

  • User-level access to Ceph Object Gateway.
  • Root-level access to the node accessing the Ceph Object Gateway.
  • Internet access.

Procedure

  1. Install the ruby package:

    [root@dev ~]# yum install ruby
    Note

    The above command will install ruby and its essential dependencies like rubygems and ruby-libs. If somehow the command does not install all the dependencies, install them separately.

  2. Install the aws-s3 Ruby package:

    [root@dev ~]# gem install aws-s3
  3. Create a project directory:

    [user@dev ~]$ mkdir ruby_aws_s3
    [user@dev ~]$ cd ruby_aws_s3
  4. Create the connection file:

    [user@dev ~]$ vim conn.rb
  5. Paste the following contents into the conn.rb file:

    Syntax

    #!/usr/bin/env ruby
    
    require 'aws/s3'
    require 'resolv-replace'
    
    AWS::S3::Base.establish_connection!(
            :server            => 'FQDN_OF_GATEWAY_NODE',
            :port           => '8080',
            :access_key_id     => 'MY_ACCESS_KEY',
            :secret_access_key => 'MY_SECRET_KEY'
    )

    Replace FQDN_OF_GATEWAY_NODE with the FQDN of the Ceph Object Gateway node. Replace MY_ACCESS_KEY and MY_SECRET_KEY with the access_key and secret_key that were generated when you created the radosgw user for S3 access as mentioned in the Red Hat Ceph Storage Object Gateway Configuration and Administration Guide.

    Example

    #!/usr/bin/env ruby
    
    require 'aws/s3'
    require 'resolv-replace'

    <?php
    define('AWS_KEY', 'MY_ACCESS_KEY');
    define('AWS_SECRET_KEY', 'MY_SECRET_KEY');
    define('HOST', 'FQDN_OF_GATEWAY_NODE');
    define('PORT', '8080');
    
    // require the AWS SDK for php library
    require '/PATH_TO_AWS/aws-autoloader.php';
    
    use Aws\S3\S3Client;
    
    // Establish connection with host using S3 Client
    client = S3Client::factory(array(
        'base_url' => HOST,
        'port' => PORT,
        'key'      => AWS_KEY,
        'secret'   => AWS_SECRET_KEY
    ));
    ?>

    Replace FQDN_OF_GATEWAY_NODE with the FQDN of the gateway node. Replace MY_ACCESS_KEY and MY_SECRET_KEY with the access_key and secret_key that were generated when creating the radosgw user for S3 access as mentioned in the Red Hat Ceph Storage Object Gateway Configuration and Administration Guide. Replace PATH_TO_AWS with the absolute path to the extracted aws directory that you copied to the php project directory.

    Save the file and exit the editor.

    <?php
    
    include 'conn.php';
    
    blist = client->listBuckets();
    echo "Buckets belonging to " . blist['Owner']['ID'] . ":\n";
    foreach (blist['Buckets'] as b) {
        echo "{b['Name']}\t{b['CreationDate']}\n";
    }
    
    ?>

    Save the file and exit the editor.

  11. Run the file:

    [user@dev ~]$ php -f list_owned_buckets.php

    The output should look similar to this:

    my-new-bucket3 2020-01-21 10:33:19 UTC
  12. Create an object by first creating a source file named hello.txt:

    [user@dev ~]$ echo "Hello World!" > hello.txt
  13. Create a new php file:

    [user@dev ~]$ vim create_object.php

    Paste the following contents into the file:

    Syntax

    <?php
    
    include 'conn.php';
    
    key         = 'hello.txt';
    source_file = './hello.txt';
    acl         = 'private';
    bucket      = 'my-new-bucket3';
    client->upload(bucket, key, fopen(source_file, 'r'), acl);
    
    ?>

    Save the file and exit the editor.

  14. Run the file:

    [user@dev ~]$ php -f create_object.php

    This will create the object hello.txt in bucket my-new-bucket3.

  15. Create a new file for listing a bucket’s content:

    [user@dev ~]$ vim list_bucket_content.php

    Paste the following content into the file:

    Syntax

    <?php
    
    include 'conn.php';
    
    o_iter = client->getIterator('ListObjects', array(
        'Bucket' => 'my-new-bucket3'
    ));
    foreach (o_iter as o) {
        echo "{o['Key']}\t{o['Size']}\t{o['LastModified']}\n";
    }
    ?>

    Save the file and exit the editor.

  16. Run the file:

    [user@dev ~]$ php -f list_bucket_content.php

    The output will look similar to this:

    hello.txt    12    Fri, 22 Jan 2020 15:54:52 GMT
  17. Create a new file for deleting an empty bucket:

    [user@dev ~]$ vim del_empty_bucket.php

    Paste the following contents into the file:

    Syntax

    <?php
    
    include 'conn.php';
    
    client->deleteBucket(array('Bucket' => 'my-new-bucket3'));
    ?>

    Save the file and exit the editor.

  18. Run the file:

    [user@dev ~]$ php -f del_empty_bucket.php | echo $?

    If the bucket is successfully deleted, the command will return 0 as output.

    Note

    Edit the create_bucket.php file to create empty buckets, for example, my-new-bucket4, my-new-bucket5. Next, edit the above-mentioned del_empty_bucket.php file accordingly before trying to delete empty buckets.

    Important

    Deleting a non-empty bucket is currently not supported in PHP 2 and newer versions of aws-sdk.

  19. Create a new file for deleting an object:

    [user@dev ~]$ vim delete_object.php

    Paste the following contents into the file:

    Syntax

    <?php
    
    include 'conn.php';
    
    client->deleteObject(array(
        'Bucket' => 'my-new-bucket3',
        'Key'    => 'hello.txt',
    ));
    ?>

    Save the file and exit the editor.

  20. Run the file:

    [user@dev ~]$ php -f delete_object.php

    This will delete the object hello.txt.

3.2.8. Secure Token Service

The Amazon Web Services' Secure Token Service (STS) returns a set of temporary security credentials for authenticating users.

Red Hat Ceph Storage Object Gateway supports a subset of Amazon STS application programming interfaces (APIs) for identity and access management (IAM).

Users first authenticate against STS and receive a short-lived S3 access key and secret key that can be used in subsequent requests.

Red Hat Ceph Storage can authenticate S3 users by integrating with a Single Sign-On by configuring an OIDC provider. This feature enables Object Storage users to authenticate against an enterprise identity provider rather than the local Ceph Object Gateway database. For instance, if the SSO is connected to an enterprise IDP in the backend, Object Storage users can use their enterprise credentials to authenticate and get access to the Ceph Object Gateway S3 endpoint.

By using STS along with the IAM role policy feature, you can create finely tuned authorization policies to control access to your data. This enables you to implement either a Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) or Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) authorization model for your object storage data, giving you complete control over who can access the data.

3.2.8.2. Configuring the Secure Token Service

Configure the Secure Token Service (STS) for use with the Ceph Object Gateway by setting the rgw_sts_key, and rgw_s3_auth_use_sts options.

Note

The S3 and STS APIs co-exist in the same namespace, and both can be accessed from the same endpoint in the Ceph Object Gateway.

Prerequisites

  • A running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster.
  • A running Ceph Object Gateway.
  • Root-level access to a Ceph Manager node.

Procedure

  1. Set the following configuration options for the Ceph Object Gateway client:

    Syntax

    ceph config set RGW_CLIENT_NAME rgw_sts_key STS_KEY
    ceph config set RGW_CLIENT_NAME rgw_s3_auth_use_sts true

    The rgw_sts_key is the STS key for encrypting or decrypting the session token and is exactly 16 hex characters.

    Important

    The STS key needs to be alphanumeric.

    Example

    [root@mgr ~]# ceph config set client.rgw rgw_sts_key 7f8fd8dd4700mnop
    [root@mgr ~]# ceph config set client.rgw rgw_s3_auth_use_sts true

  2. Restart the Ceph Object Gateway for the added key to take effect.

    Note

    Use the output from the ceph orch ps command, under the NAME column, to get the SERVICE_TYPE.ID information.

    1. To restart the Ceph Object Gateway on an individual node in the storage cluster:

      Syntax

      systemctl restart ceph-CLUSTER_ID@SERVICE_TYPE.ID.service

      Example

      [root@host01 ~]# systemctl restart ceph-c4b34c6f-8365-11ba-dc31-529020a7702d@rgw.realm.zone.host01.gwasto.service

    2. To restart the Ceph Object Gateways on all nodes in the storage cluster:

      Syntax

      ceph orch restart SERVICE_TYPE

      Example

      [ceph: root@host01 /]# ceph orch restart rgw

Additional Resources

3.2.8.3. Creating a user for an OpenID Connect provider

To establish trust between the Ceph Object Gateway and the OpenID Connect Provider create a user entity and a role trust policy.

Prerequisites

  • User-level access to the Ceph Object Gateway node.
  • Secure Token Service configured.

Procedure

  1. Create a new Ceph user:

    Syntax

    radosgw-admin --uid USER_NAME --display-name "DISPLAY_NAME" --access_key USER_NAME --secret SECRET user create

    Example

    [user@rgw ~]$ radosgw-admin --uid TESTER --display-name "TestUser" --access_key TESTER --secret test123 user create

  2. Configure the Ceph user capabilities:

    Syntax

    radosgw-admin caps add --uid="USER_NAME" --caps="oidc-provider=*"

    Example

    [user@rgw ~]$ radosgw-admin caps add --uid="TESTER" --caps="oidc-provider=*"

  3. Add a condition to the role trust policy using the Secure Token Service (STS) API:

    Syntax

    "{\"Version\":\"2020-01-17\",\"Statement\":[{\"Effect\":\"Allow\",\"Principal\":{\"Federated\":[\"arn:aws:iam:::oidc-provider/IDP_URL\"]},\"Action\":[\"sts:AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity\"],\"Condition\":{\"StringEquals\":{\"IDP_URL:app_id\":\"AUD_FIELD\"\}\}\}\]\}"

    Important

    The app_id in the syntax example above must match the AUD_FIELD field of the incoming token.

  3. Use the generated credentials to get back a set of temporary security credentials using GetSessionToken API:

    Example

    import boto3
    
    access_key = b924dfc87d454d15896691182fdeb0ef
    secret_key = 6a2142613c504c42a94ba2b82147dc28
    
    client = boto3.client('sts',
    aws_access_key_id=access_key,
    aws_secret_access_key=secret_key,
    endpoint_url=https://www.example.com/rgw,
    region_name='',
    )
    
    response = client.get_session_token(
        DurationSeconds=43200
    )

  4. Obtaining the temporary credentials can be used for making S3 calls:

    Example

    s3client = boto3.client('s3',
      aws_access_key_id = response['Credentials']['AccessKeyId'],
      aws_secret_access_key = response['Credentials']['SecretAccessKey'],
      aws_session_token = response['Credentials']['SessionToken'],
      endpoint_url=https://www.example.com/s3,
      region_name='')
    
    bucket = s3client.create_bucket(Bucket='my-new-shiny-bucket')
    response = s3client.list_buckets()
    for bucket in response["Buckets"]:
      print "{name}\t{created}".format(
        name = bucket['Name'],
        created = bucket['CreationDate'],
      )

  5. Create a new S3Access role and configure a policy.

    1. Assign a user with administrative CAPS:

      Syntax

      radosgw-admin caps add --uid="USER" --caps="roles=*"

      Example

      [root@mgr ~]# radosgw-admin caps add --uid="gwadmin" --caps="roles=*"

    2. Create the S3Access role:

      Syntax

      radosgw-admin role create --role-name=ROLE_NAME --path=PATH --assume-role-policy-doc=TRUST_POLICY_DOC

      Example

      [root@mgr ~]# radosgw-admin role create --role-name=S3Access --path=/application_abc/component_xyz/ --assume-role-policy-doc=\{\"Version\":\"2012-10-17\",\"Statement\":\[\{\"Effect\":\"Allow\",\"Principal\":\{\"AWS\":\[\"arn:aws:iam:::user/TESTER\"\]\},\"Action\":\[\"sts:AssumeRole\"\]\}\]\}

    3. Attach a permission policy to the S3Access role:

      Syntax

      radosgw-admin role-policy put --role-name=ROLE_NAME --policy-name=POLICY_NAME --policy-doc=PERMISSION_POLICY_DOC

      Example

      [root@mgr ~]# radosgw-admin role-policy put --role-name=S3Access --policy-name=Policy --policy-doc=\{\"Version\":\"2012-10-17\",\"Statement\":\[\{\"Effect\":\"Allow\",\"Action\":\[\"s3:*\"\],\"Resource\":\"arn:aws:s3:::example_bucket\"\}\]\}

    4. Now another user can assume the role of the gwadmin user. For example, the gwuser user can assume the permissions of the gwadmin user.
    5. Make a note of the assuming user’s access_key and secret_key values.

      Example

      [root@mgr ~]# radosgw-admin user info --uid=gwuser | grep -A1 access_key

  6. Use the AssumeRole API call, providing the access_key and secret_key values from the assuming user:

    Example

    import boto3
    
    access_key = 11BS02LGFB6AL6H1ADMW
    secret_key = vzCEkuryfn060dfee4fgQPqFrncKEIkh3ZcdOANY
    
    client = boto3.client('sts',
    aws_access_key_id=access_key,
    aws_secret_access_key=secret_key,
    endpoint_url=https://www.example.com/rgw,
    region_name='',
    )
    
    response = client.assume_role(
    RoleArn='arn:aws:iam:::role/application_abc/component_xyz/S3Access',
    RoleSessionName='Bob',
    DurationSeconds=3600
    )

    Important

    The AssumeRole API requires the S3Access role.

3.2.10. Working around the limitations of using STS Lite with Keystone (Technology Preview)

A limitation with Keystone is that it does not supports Secure Token Service (STS) requests. Another limitation is the payload hash is not included with the request. To work around these two limitations the Boto authentication code must be modified.

Prerequisites

  • A running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster, version 5.0 or higher.
  • A running Ceph Object Gateway.
  • Installation of Boto Python module, version 3 or higher.

Procedure

  1. Open and edit Boto’s auth.py file.

    1. Add the following four lines to the code block:

      class SigV4Auth(BaseSigner):
        """
        Sign a request with Signature V4.
        """
        REQUIRES_REGION = True
      
        def __init__(self, credentials, service_name, region_name):
            self.credentials = credentials
            # We initialize these value here so the unit tests can have
            # valid values.  But these will get overriden in ``add_auth``
            # later for real requests.
            self._region_name = region_name
            if service_name == 'sts': 1
                self._service_name = 's3' 2
            else: 3
                self._service_name = service_name 4
    2. Add the following two lines to the code block:

      def _modify_request_before_signing(self, request):
              if 'Authorization' in request.headers:
                  del request.headers['Authorization']
              self._set_necessary_date_headers(request)
              if self.credentials.token:
                  if 'X-Amz-Security-Token' in request.headers:
                      del request.headers['X-Amz-Security-Token']
                  request.headers['X-Amz-Security-Token'] = self.credentials.token
      
              if not request.context.get('payload_signing_enabled', True):
                  if 'X-Amz-Content-SHA256' in request.headers:
                      del request.headers['X-Amz-Content-SHA256']
                  request.headers['X-Amz-Content-SHA256'] = UNSIGNED_PAYLOAD 1
              else: 2
                  request.headers['X-Amz-Content-SHA256'] = self.payload(request)

3.3.1. S3 create bucket notifications

Create bucket notifications at the bucket level. The notification configuration has the Red Hat Ceph Storage Object Gateway S3 events, ObjectCreated, ObjectRemoved, and ObjectLifecycle:Expiration. These need to be published and the destination to send the bucket notifications. Bucket notifications are S3 operations.

To create a bucket notification for s3:objectCreate, s3:objectRemove and s3:ObjectLifecycle:Expiration events, use PUT:

Example

client.put_bucket_notification_configuration(
   Bucket=bucket_name,
   NotificationConfiguration={
       'TopicConfigurations': [
           {
               'Id': notification_name,
               'TopicArn': topic_arn,
               'Events': ['s3:ObjectCreated:*', 's3:ObjectRemoved:*', 's3:ObjectLifecycle:Expiration:*']
           }]})

Important

Red Hat supports ObjectCreate events, such as put, post, multipartUpload, and copy. Red Hat also supports ObjectRemove events, such as object_delete and s3_multi_object_delete.

3.3.3. S3 delete bucket notifications

Delete a specific or all notifications from a bucket.

Note

Notification deletion is an extension to the S3 notification API. Any defined notifications on a bucket are deleted when the bucket is deleted. Deleting an unknown notification for example double delete, is not considered an error.

To delete a specific or all notifications use DELETE:

Syntax

DELETE /BUCKET?notification=NOTIFICATION_ID HTTP/1.1

Example

DELETE /testbucket?notification=testnotificationID HTTP/1.1

Request Entities

notification-id
Description
Name of the notification. All notifications on the bucket are deleted if the notification ID is not provided.
Type
String

HTTP response

404
Status Code
NoSuchBucket
Description
The bucket does not exist.

3.3.4. Accessing bucket host names

There are two different modes of accessing the buckets. The first, and preferred method identifies the bucket as the top-level directory in the URI.

Example

GET /mybucket HTTP/1.1
Host: cname.domain.com

The second method identifies the bucket via a virtual bucket host name.

Example

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: mybucket.cname.domain.com

Tip

Red Hat prefers the first method, because the second method requires expensive domain certification and DNS wild cards.

3.3.5. S3 list buckets

GET / returns a list of buckets created by the user making the request. GET / only returns buckets created by an authenticated user. You cannot make an anonymous request.

3.3.7. S3 create a new bucket

Creates a new bucket. To create a bucket, you must have a user ID and a valid AWS Access Key ID to authenticate requests. You can not create buckets as an anonymous user.

Constraints

In general, bucket names should follow domain name constraints.

  • Bucket names must be unique.
  • Bucket names cannot be formatted as IP address.
  • Bucket names can be between 3 and 63 characters long.
  • Bucket names must not contain uppercase characters or underscores.
  • Bucket names must start with a lowercase letter or number.
  • Bucket names can contain a dash (-).
  • Bucket names must be a series of one or more labels. Adjacent labels are separated by a single period (.). Bucket names can contain lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens. Each label must start and end with a lowercase letter or a number.
Note

The above constraints are relaxed if rgw_relaxed_s3_bucket_names is set to true. The bucket names must still be unique, cannot be formatted as IP address, and can contain letters, numbers, periods, dashes, and underscores of up to 255 characters long.

Syntax

PUT /BUCKET HTTP/1.1
Host: cname.domain.com
x-amz-acl: public-read-write

Authorization: AWS ACCESS_KEY:HASH_OF_HEADER_AND_SECRET

Parameters

x-amz-acl
Description
Canned ACLs.
Valid Values
private, public-read,public-read-write, authenticated-read
Required
No

HTTP Response

If the bucket name is unique, within constraints, and unused, the operation will succeed. If a bucket with the same name already exists and the user is the bucket owner, the operation will succeed. If the bucket name is already in use, the operation will fail.

409
Status Code
BucketAlreadyExists
Description
Bucket already exists under different user’s ownership.

3.3.8. S3 put bucket website

The put bucket website API sets the configuration of the website that is specified in the website subresource. To configure a bucket as a website, the website subresource can be added on the bucket.

Note

Put operation requires S3:PutBucketWebsite permission. By default, only the bucket owner can configure the website attached to a bucket.

Syntax

PUT /BUCKET?website-configuration=HTTP/1.1

Example

PUT /testbucket?website-configuration=HTTP/1.1

Additional Resources

  • For more information about this API call, see S3 API.

3.3.9. S3 get bucket website

The get bucket website API retrieves the configuration of the website that is specified in the website subresource.

Note

Get operation requires the S3:GetBucketWebsite permission. By default, only the bucket owner can read the bucket website configuration.

Syntax

GET /BUCKET?website-configuration=HTTP/1.1

Example

GET /testbucket?website-configuration=HTTP/1.1

Additional Resources

  • For more information about this API call, see S3 API.

3.3.10. S3 delete bucket website

The delete bucket website API removes the website configuration for a bucket.

Syntax

DELETE /BUCKET?website-configuration=HTTP/1.1

Example

DELETE /testbucket?website-configuration=HTTP/1.1

Additional Resources

  • For more information about this API call, see S3 API.

3.3.11. S3 delete a bucket

Deletes a bucket. You can reuse bucket names following a successful bucket removal.

Syntax

DELETE /BUCKET HTTP/1.1
Host: cname.domain.com

Authorization: AWS ACCESS_KEY:HASH_OF_HEADER_AND_SECRET

HTTP Response

204
Status Code
No Content
Description
Bucket removed.

3.3.12. S3 bucket lifecycle

You can use a bucket lifecycle configuration to manage your objects so they are stored effectively throughout their lifetime. The S3 API in the Ceph Object Gateway supports a subset of the AWS bucket lifecycle actions:

  • Expiration: This defines the lifespan of objects within a bucket. It takes the number of days the object should live or expiration date, at which point Ceph Object Gateway will delete the object. If the bucket doesn’t enable versioning, Ceph Object Gateway will delete the object permanently. If the bucket enables versioning, Ceph Object Gateway will create a delete marker for the current version, and then delete the current version.
  • NoncurrentVersionExpiration: This defines the lifespan of non-current object versions within a bucket. To use this feature, the bucket must enable versioning. It takes the number of days a non-current object should live, at which point Ceph Object Gateway will delete the non-current object.
  • AbortIncompleteMultipartUpload: This defines the number of days an incomplete multipart upload should live before it is aborted.

The lifecycle configuration contains one or more rules using the <Rule> element.

Example

<LifecycleConfiguration>
    <Rule>
      <Prefix/>
      <Status>Enabled</Status>
      <Expiration>
        <Days>10</Days>
      </Expiration>
    </Rule>
</LifecycleConfiguration>

A lifecycle rule can apply to all or a subset of objects in a bucket based on the <Filter> element that you specify in the lifecycle rule. You can specify a filter in several ways:

  • Key prefixes
  • Object tags
  • Both key prefix and one or more object tags

Key prefixes

You can apply a lifecycle rule to a subset of objects based on the key name prefix. For example, specifying <keypre/> would apply to objects that begin with keypre/:

<LifecycleConfiguration>
    <Rule>
        <Status>Enabled</Status>
        <Filter>
           <Prefix>keypre/</Prefix>
        </Filter>
    </Rule>
</LifecycleConfiguration>

You can also apply different lifecycle rules to objects with different key prefixes:

<LifecycleConfiguration>
    <Rule>
        <Status>Enabled</Status>
        <Filter>
           <Prefix>keypre/</Prefix>
        </Filter>
    </Rule>
    <Rule>

        <Filter>
           <Prefix>mypre/</Prefix>
        </Filter>
    </Rule>
</LifecycleConfiguration>

Object tags

You can apply a lifecycle rule to only objects with a specific tag using the <Key> and <Value> elements:

<LifecycleConfiguration>
    <Rule>
        <Status>Enabled</Status>
        <Filter>
           <Tag>
              <Key>key</Key>
              <Value>value</Value>
           </Tag>
        </Filter>
    </Rule>
</LifecycleConfiguration>

Both prefix and one or more tags

In a lifecycle rule, you can specify a filter based on both the key prefix and one or more tags. They must be wrapped in the <And> element. A filter can have only one prefix, and zero or more tags:

<LifecycleConfiguration>
    <Rule>
        <Status>Enabled</Status>
        <Filter>
          <And>
             <Prefix>key-prefix</Prefix>
             <Tag>
                <Key>key1</Key>
                <Value>value1</Value>
             </Tag>
             <Tag>
                <Key>key2</Key>
                <Value>value2</Value>
             </Tag>
              ...
          </And>
        </Filter>
    </Rule>
</LifecycleConfiguration>

3.3.27. S3 bucket policies

The Ceph Object Gateway supports a subset of the Amazon S3 policy language applied to buckets.

Creation and Removal

Ceph Object Gateway manages S3 Bucket policies through standard S3 operations rather than using the radosgw-admin CLI tool.

Administrators may use the s3cmd command to set or delete a policy.

Example

$ cat > examplepol
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [{
    "Effect": "Allow",
    "Principal": {"AWS": ["arn:aws:iam::usfolks:user/fred"]},
    "Action": "s3:PutObjectAcl",
    "Resource": [
      "arn:aws:s3:::happybucket/*"
    ]
  }]
}

$ s3cmd setpolicy examplepol s3://happybucket
$ s3cmd delpolicy s3://happybucket

Limitations

Ceph Object Gateway only supports the following S3 actions:

  • s3:AbortMultipartUpload
  • s3:CreateBucket
  • s3:DeleteBucketPolicy
  • s3:DeleteBucket
  • s3:DeleteBucketWebsite
  • s3:DeleteObject
  • s3:DeleteObjectVersion
  • s3:GetBucketAcl
  • s3:GetBucketCORS
  • s3:GetBucketLocation
  • s3:GetBucketPolicy
  • s3:GetBucketRequestPayment
  • s3:GetBucketVersioning
  • s3:GetBucketWebsite
  • s3:GetLifecycleConfiguration
  • s3:GetObjectAcl
  • s3:GetObject
  • s3:GetObjectTorrent
  • s3:GetObjectVersionAcl
  • s3:GetObjectVersion
  • s3:GetObjectVersionTorrent
  • s3:ListAllMyBuckets
  • s3:ListBucketMultiPartUploads
  • s3:ListBucket
  • s3:ListBucketVersions
  • s3:ListMultipartUploadParts
  • s3:PutBucketAcl
  • s3:PutBucketCORS
  • s3:PutBucketPolicy
  • s3:PutBucketRequestPayment
  • s3:PutBucketVersioning
  • s3:PutBucketWebsite
  • s3:PutLifecycleConfiguration
  • s3:PutObjectAcl
  • s3:PutObject
  • s3:PutObjectVersionAcl
Note

Ceph Object Gateway does not support setting policies on users, groups, or roles.

The Ceph Object Gateway uses the RGW ‘tenant’ identifier in place of the Amazon twelve-digit account ID. Ceph Object Gateway administrators who want to use policies between Amazon Web Service (AWS) S3 and Ceph Object Gateway S3 will have to use the Amazon account ID as the tenant ID when creating users.

With AWS S3, all tenants share a single namespace. By contrast, Ceph Object Gateway gives every tenant its own namespace of buckets. At present, Ceph Object Gateway clients trying to access a bucket belonging to another tenant MUST address it as tenant:bucket in the S3 request.

In the AWS, a bucket policy can grant access to another account, and that account owner can then grant access to individual users with user permissions. Since Ceph Object Gateway does not yet support user, role, and group permissions, account owners will need to grant access directly to individual users.

Important

Granting an entire account access to a bucket grants access to ALL users in that account.

Bucket policies do NOT support string interpolation.

Ceph Object Gateway supports the following condition keys:

  • aws:CurrentTime
  • aws:EpochTime
  • aws:PrincipalType
  • aws:Referer
  • aws:SecureTransport
  • aws:SourceIp
  • aws:UserAgent
  • aws:username

Ceph Object Gateway ONLY supports the following condition keys for the ListBucket action:

  • s3:prefix
  • s3:delimiter
  • s3:max-keys

Impact on Swift

Ceph Object Gateway provides no functionality to set bucket policies under the Swift API. However, bucket policies that have been set with the S3 API govern Swift as well as S3 operations.

Ceph Object Gateway matches Swift credentials against Principals specified in a policy.

3.3.28. S3 get the request payment configuration on a bucket

Uses the requestPayment subresource to return the request payment configuration of a bucket. The user needs to be the bucket owner or to have been granted READ_ACP permission on the bucket.

Add the requestPayment subresource to the bucket request as shown below.

Syntax

GET /BUCKET?requestPayment HTTP/1.1
Host: cname.domain.com

Authorization: AWS ACCESS_KEY:HASH_OF_HEADER_AND_SECRET

3.3.29. S3 set the request payment configuration on a bucket

Uses the requestPayment subresource to set the request payment configuration of a bucket. By default, the bucket owner pays for downloads from the bucket. This configuration parameter enables the bucket owner to specify that the person requesting the download will be charged for the request and the data download from the bucket.

Add the requestPayment subresource to the bucket request as shown below.

Syntax

PUT /BUCKET?requestPayment HTTP/1.1
Host: cname.domain.com

Request Entities

Payer
Description
Specifies who pays for the download and request fees.
Type
Enum
RequestPaymentConfiguration
Description
A container for Payer.
Type
Container

3.3.30. Multi-tenant bucket operations

When a client application accesses buckets, it always operates with the credentials of a particular user. In Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster, every user belongs to a tenant. Consequently, every bucket operation has an implicit tenant in its context if no tenant is specified explicitly. Thus multi-tenancy is completely backward compatible with previous releases, as long as the referred buckets and referring user belong to the same tenant.

Extensions employed to specify an explicit tenant differ according to the protocol and authentication system used.

In the following example, a colon character separates tenant and bucket. Thus a sample URL would be:

https://rgw.domain.com/tenant:bucket

By contrast, a simple Python example separates the tenant and bucket in the bucket method itself:

Example

from boto.s3.connection import S3Connection, OrdinaryCallingFormat
  c = S3Connection(
    aws_access_key_id="TESTER",
    aws_secret_access_key="test123",
    host="rgw.domain.com",
    calling_format = OrdinaryCallingFormat()
  )
  bucket = c.get_bucket("tenant:bucket")

Note

It’s not possible to use S3-style subdomains using multi-tenancy, since host names cannot contain colons or any other separators that are not already valid in bucket names. Using a period creates an ambiguous syntax. Therefore, the bucket-in-URL-path format has to be used with multi-tenancy.

Additional Resources

  • See the Multi Tenancy section under User Management in the Red Hat Ceph Storage Object Gateway Guide for additional details.

3.3.31. S3 Block Public Access

You can use the S3 Block Public Access feature to set buckets and users to help you manage public access to Red Hat Ceph Storage object storage S3 resources.

Using this feature, bucket policies, access point policies, and object permissions can be overridden to allow public access. By default, new buckets, access points, and objects do not allow public access.

The S3 API in the Ceph Object Gateway supports a subset of the AWS public access settings:

  • BlockPublicPolicy: This defines the setting to allow users to manage access point and bucket policies. This setting does not allow the users to publicly share the bucket or the objects it contains. Existing access point and bucket policies are not affected by enabling this setting. Setting this option to TRUE causes the S3:

    • To reject calls to PUT Bucket policy.
    • To reject calls to PUT access point policy for all of the bucket’s same-account access points.
Important

Apply this setting at the user level so that users cannot alter a specific bucket’s block public access setting.

Note

The TRUE setting only works if the specified policy allows public access.

  • RestrictPublicBuckets: This defines the setting to restrict access to a bucket or access point with public policy. The restriction applies to only AWS service principals and authorized users within the bucket owner’s account and access point owner’s account. This blocks cross-account access to the access point or bucket, except for the cases specified, while still allowing users within the account to manage the access points or buckets. Enabling this setting does not affect existing access point or bucket policies. It only defines that Amazon S3 blocks public and cross-account access derived from any public access point or bucket policy, including non-public delegation to specific accounts.
Note

Access control lists (ACLs) are not currently supported by Red Hat Ceph Storage.

Bucket policies are assumed to be public unless defined otherwise. To block public access a bucket policy must give access only to fixed values for one or more of the following:

Note

A fixed value does not contain a wildcard (*) or an AWS Identity and Access Management Policy Variable.

  • An AWS principal, user, role, or service principal
  • A set of Classless Inter-Domain Routings (CIDRs), using aws:SourceIp
  • aws:SourceArn
  • aws:SourceVpc
  • aws:SourceVpce
  • aws:SourceOwner
  • aws:SourceAccount
  • s3:x-amz-server-side-encryption-aws-kms-key-id
  • aws:userid, outside the pattern AROLEID:*
  • s3:DataAccessPointArn

    Note

    When used in a bucket policy, this value can contain a wildcard for the access point name without rendering the policy public, as long as the account ID is fixed.

  • s3:DataAccessPointPointAccount

The following example policy is considered public.

Example

{
		"Principal": "*",
		"Resource": "*",
		"Action": "s3:PutObject",
		"Effect": "Allow",
		"Condition": { "StringLike": {"aws:SourceVpc": "vpc-*"}}
	}

To make a policy non-public, include any of the condition keys with a fixed value.

Example

{
		"Principal": "*",
		"Resource": "*",
		"Action": "s3:PutObject",
		"Effect": "Allow",
		"Condition": {"StringEquals": {"aws:SourceVpc": "vpc-91237329"}}
	}

3.4.26. S3 Hadoop interoperability

For data analytics applications that require Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) access, the Ceph Object Gateway can be accessed using the Apache S3A connector for Hadoop. The S3A connector is an open-source tool that presents S3 compatible object storage as an HDFS file system with HDFS file system read and write semantics to the applications while data is stored in the Ceph Object Gateway.

Ceph Object Gateway is fully compatible with the S3A connector that ships with Hadoop 2.7.3.

3.5. S3 select operations (Technology Preview)

Important

The S3 select operations are a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs), might not be functionally complete, and Red Hat does not recommend using them for production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process. See the support scope for Red Hat Technology Preview features for more details.

As a developer, you can run S3 select to accelerate throughput. Users can run S3 select queries directly without a mediator.

There are two S3 select workflows, one for CSV and one for Apache Parquet (Parquet), that provide S3 select operations with CSV and Parquet objects.

  • A CSV file stores tabular data in plain text format. Each line of the file is a data record.
  • Parquet is an open source, column-oriented data file format designed for efficient data storage and retrieval. It provides highly efficient data compression and encoding schemes with enhanced performance to handle complex data in bulk.

For example, a CSV or Parquet S3 object with several gigabytes of data allows the user to extract a single column which is filtered by another column using the following query:

Example

select customerid from s3Object where age>30 and age<65;

Currently, the S3 object must retrieve data from the Ceph OSD through the Ceph Object Gateway before filtering and extracting data. There is improved performance when the object is large and the query is more specific. The Parquet format can be processed more efficiently than CSV.

Prerequisites

  • A running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster.
  • A RESTful client.
  • A S3 user created with user access.

3.5.1. S3 select content from an object

The select object content API filters the content of an object through the structured query language (SQL). See the Metadata collected by inventory section in the AWS Systems Manager User Guide for an example of the description of what should reside in the inventory object. The inventory content impacts the type of queries that should be run against that inventory. The number of SQL statements that potentially could provide essential information is large, but S3 select is an SQL-like utility and therefore, some operators are not supported, such as group-by and join.

For CSV only, you must specify the data serialization format as comma-separated values of the object to retrieve the specified content. Parquet has no delimiter because it is in binary format. Amazon Web Services (AWS) command-line interface (CLI) select object content uses the CSV or Parquet format to parse object data into records and returns only the records specified in the query.

You must specify the data serialization format for the response. You must have s3:GetObject permission for this operation.

Note
  • The InputSerialization element describes the format of the data in the object that is being queried. Objects can be in CSV or Parquet format.
  • The OutputSerialization element is part of the AWS-CLI user client and describes how the output data is formatted. Ceph has implemented the server client for AWS-CLI and therefore, provides the same output according to OutputSerialization which currently is CSV only.
  • The format of the InputSerialization does not need to match the format of the OutputSerialization. So, for example, you can specify Parquet in the InputSerialization and CSV in the OutputSerialization.

Syntax

POST /BUCKET/KEY?select&select-type=2 HTTP/1.1\r\n

POST /testbucket/sample1csv?select&select-type=2 HTTP/1.1\r\n

3.5.3. S3 alias programming construct

Alias programming construct is an essential part of the s3 select language because it enables better programming with objects that contain many columns or complex queries. When a statement with alias construct is parsed, it replaces the alias with a reference to the right projection column and on query execution, the reference is evaluated like any other expression. Alias maintains result-cache that is if an alias is used more than once, the same expression is not evaluated and the same result is returned because the result from the cache is used. Currently, Red Hat supports the column alias.

Example

select int(_1) as a1, int(_2) as a2 , (a1+a2) as a3 from s3object where a3>100 and a3<300;")

3.5.4. S3 CSV parsing explained

The CSV definitions with input serialization uses these default values:

  • Use {\n}` for row-delimiter.
  • Use {“} for quote.
  • Use {\} for escape characters.

The csv-header-info is parsed upon USE appearing in the AWS-CLI; this is the first row in the input object containing the schema. Currently, output serialization and compression-type is not supported. The S3 select engine has a CSV parser which parses S3-objects:

  • Each row ends with a row-delimiter.
  • The field-separator separates the adjacent columns.
  • The successive field separator defines the NULL column.
  • The quote-character overrides the field-separator; that is, the field separator is any character between the quotes.
  • The escape character disables any special character except the row delimiter.

The following are examples of CSV parsing rules:

Table 3.5. CSV parsing
FeatureDescriptionInput (Tokens)

NULL

Successive field delimiter

,,1,,2, =⇒ {null}{null}{1}{null}{2}{null}

QUOTE

The quote character overrides the field delimiter.

11,22,”a,b,c,d”,last =⇒ {11}{22}{“a,b,c,d”}{last}

Escape

The escape character overrides the meta-character.

A container for the object owner’s ID and DisplayName

row delimiter

There is no closed quote; row delimiter is the closing line.

11,22,a=”str,44,55,66 =⇒ {11}{22}{a=”str,44,55,66}

csv header info

FileHeaderInfo tag

USE value means each token on the first line is the column-name; IGNORE value means to skip the first line.

4.1. Swift API limitations

Important

The following limitations should be used with caution. There are implications related to your hardware selections, so you should always discuss these requirements with your Red Hat account team.

  • Maximum object size when using Swift API: 5GB
  • Maximum metadata size when using Swift API: There is no defined limit on the total size of user metadata that can be applied to an object, but a single HTTP request is limited to 16,000 bytes.

4.2. Create a Swift user

To test the Swift interface, create a Swift subuser. Creating a Swift user is a two-step process. The first step is to create the user. The second step is to create the secret key.

Note

In a multi-site deployment, always create a user on a host in the master zone of the master zone group.

Prerequisites

  • Installation of the Ceph Object Gateway.
  • Root-level access to the Ceph Object Gateway node.

Procedure

  1. Create the Swift user:

    Syntax

    radosgw-admin subuser create --uid=NAME --subuser=NAME:swift --access=full

    Replace NAME with the Swift user name, for example:

    Example

    [root@host01 ~]# radosgw-admin subuser create --uid=testuser --subuser=testuser:swift --access=full
    {
        "user_id": "testuser",
        "display_name": "First User",
        "email": "",
        "suspended": 0,
        "max_buckets": 1000,
        "auid": 0,
        "subusers": [
            {
                "id": "testuser:swift",
                "permissions": "full-control"
            }
        ],
        "keys": [
            {
                "user": "testuser",
                "access_key": "O8JDE41XMI74O185EHKD",
                "secret_key": "i4Au2yxG5wtr1JK01mI8kjJPM93HNAoVWOSTdJd6"
            }
        ],
        "swift_keys": [
            {
                "user": "testuser:swift",
                "secret_key": "13TLtdEW7bCqgttQgPzxFxziu0AgabtOc6vM8DLA"
            }
        ],
        "caps": [],
        "op_mask": "read, write, delete",
        "default_placement": "",
        "placement_tags": [],
        "bucket_quota": {
            "enabled": false,
            "check_on_raw": false,
            "max_size": -1,
            "max_size_kb": 0,
            "max_objects": -1
        },
        "user_quota": {
            "enabled": false,
            "check_on_raw": false,
            "max_size": -1,
            "max_size_kb": 0,

        },
        "temp_url_keys": [],
        "type": "rgw"
    }

  2. Create the secret key:

    Syntax

    radosgw-admin key create --subuser=NAME:swift --key-type=swift --gen-secret

    Replace NAME with the Swift user name, for example:

    Example

    [root@host01 ~]# radosgw-admin key create --subuser=testuser:swift --key-type=swift --gen-secret
    {
        "user_id": "testuser",
        "display_name": "First User",
        "email": "",
        "suspended": 0,
        "max_buckets": 1000,
        "auid": 0,
        "subusers": [
            {
                "id": "testuser:swift",
                "permissions": "full-control"
            }
        ],
        "keys": [
            {
                "user": "testuser",
                "access_key": "O8JDE41XMI74O185EHKD",
                "secret_key": "i4Au2yxG5wtr1JK01mI8kjJPM93HNAoVWOSTdJd6"
            }
        ],
        "swift_keys": [
            {
                "user": "testuser:swift",
                "secret_key": "a4ioT4jEP653CDcdU8p4OuhruwABBRZmyNUbnSSt"
            }
        ],
        "caps": [],
        "op_mask": "read, write, delete",
        "default_placement": "",
        "placement_tags": [],
        "bucket_quota": {
            "enabled": false,
            "check_on_raw": false,
            "max_size": -1,
            "max_size_kb": 0,
            "max_objects": -1
        },
        "user_quota": {
            "enabled": false,
            "check_on_raw": false,
            "max_size": -1,
            "max_size_kb": 0,
            "max_objects": -1
        },
        "temp_url_keys": [],
        "type": "rgw"
    }

4.3. Swift authenticating a user

To authenticate a user, make a request containing an X-Auth-User and a X-Auth-Key in the header.

Syntax

GET /auth HTTP/1.1
Host: swift.example.com
X-Auth-User: johndoe
X-Auth-Key: R7UUOLFDI2ZI9PRCQ53K

Example Response

HTTP/1.1 204 No Content
Date: Mon, 16 Jul 2012 11:05:33 GMT
Server: swift
X-Storage-Url: https://swift.example.com
X-Storage-Token: UOlCCC8TahFKlWuv9DB09TWHF0nDjpPElha0kAa
Content-Length: 0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Note

You can retrieve data about Ceph’s Swift-compatible service by executing GET requests using the X-Storage-Url value during authentication.

4.4. Swift container operations

As a developer, you can perform container operations with the Swift application programming interface (API) through the Ceph Object Gateway. You can list, create, update, and delete containers. You can also add or update the container’s metadata.

Prerequisites

  • A running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster.
  • A RESTful client.

4.4.1. Swift container operations

A container is a mechanism for storing data objects. An account can have many containers, but container names must be unique. This API enables a client to create a container, set access controls and metadata, retrieve a container’s contents, and delete a container. Since this API makes requests related to information in a particular user’s account, all requests in this API must be authenticated unless a container’s access control is deliberately made publicly accessible, that is, allows anonymous requests.

Note

The Amazon S3 API uses the term 'bucket' to describe a data container. When you hear someone refer to a 'bucket' within the Swift API, the term 'bucket' might be construed as the equivalent of the term 'container.'

One facet of object storage is that it does not support hierarchical paths or directories. Instead, it supports one level consisting of one or more containers, where each container might have objects. The RADOS Gateway’s Swift-compatible API supports the notion of 'pseudo-hierarchical containers', which is a means of using object naming to emulate a container, or directory hierarchy without actually implementing one in the storage system. You can name objects with pseudo-hierarchical names, for example, photos/buildings/empire-state.jpg, but container names cannot contain a forward slash (/) character.

Important

When uploading large objects to versioned Swift containers, use the --leave-segments option with the python-swiftclient utility. Not using --leave-segments overwrites the manifest file. Consequently, an existing object is overwritten, which leads to data loss.

4.4.2. Swift update a container’s Access Control List (ACL)

When a user creates a container, the user has read and write access to the container by default. To allow other users to read a container’s contents or write to a container, you must specifically enable the user. You can also specify * in the X-Container-Read or X-Container-Write settings, which effectively enables all users to either read from or write to the container. Setting * makes the container public. That is it enables anonymous users to either read from or write to the container.

Syntax

POST /API_VERSION/ACCOUNT/TENANT:CONTAINER HTTP/1.1
Host: FULLY_QUALIFIED_DOMAIN_NAME
X-Auth-Token: AUTH_TOKEN
X-Container-Read: *
X-Container-Write: UID1, UID2, UID3

4.4.3. Swift list containers

A GET request that specifies the API version and the account will return a list of containers for a particular user account. Since the request returns a particular user’s containers, the request requires an authentication token. The request cannot be made anonymously.

Syntax

GET /API_VERSION/ACCOUNT HTTP/1.1

4.4.5. Swift create a container

To create a new container, make a PUT request with the API version, account, and the name of the new container. The container name must be unique, must not contain a forward-slash (/) character, and should be less than 256 bytes. You can include access control headers and metadata headers in the request. You can also include a storage policy identifying a key for a set of placement pools. For example, execute radosgw-admin zone get to see a list of available keys under placement_pools. A storage policy enables you to specify a special set of pools for the container, for example, SSD-based storage. The operation is idempotent. If you make a request to create a container that already exists, it will return with a HTTP 202 return code, but will not create another container.

Syntax

PUT /API_VERSION/ACCOUNT/TENANT:CONTAINER HTTP/1.1
Host: FULLY_QUALIFIED_DOMAIN_NAME
X-Auth-Token: AUTH_TOKEN
X-Container-Read: COMMA_SEPARATED_UIDS
X-Container-Write: COMMA_SEPARATED_UIDS

4.4.6. Swift delete a container

To delete a container, make a DELETE request with the API version, account, and the name of the container. The container must be empty. If you’d like to check if the container is empty, execute a HEAD request against the container. Once you’ve successfully removed the container, you’ll be able to reuse the container name.

Syntax

DELETE /API_VERSION/ACCOUNT/TENANT:CONTAINER HTTP/1.1
Host: FULLY_QUALIFIED_DOMAIN_NAME
X-Auth-Token: AUTH_TOKEN

HTTP Response

204

4.5. Swift object operations

As a developer, you can perform object operations with the Swift application programming interface (API) through the Ceph Object Gateway. You can list, create, update, and delete objects. You can also add or update the object’s metadata.

Prerequisites

  • A running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster.
  • A RESTful client.

4.5.1. Swift object operations

An object is a container for storing data and metadata. A container might have many objects, but the object names must be unique. This API enables a client to create an object, set access controls and metadata, retrieve an object’s data and metadata, and delete an object. Since this API makes requests related to information in a particular user’s account, all requests in this API must be authenticated. Unless the container or object’s access control is deliberately made publicly accessible, that is, allows anonymous requests.

4.5.2. Swift get an object

To retrieve an object, make a GET request with the API version, account, container, and object name. You must have read permissions on the container to retrieve an object within it.

Syntax

GET /API_VERSION/ACCOUNT/TENANT:CONTAINER/OBJECT HTTP/1.1
Host: FULLY_QUALIFIED_DOMAIN_NAME
X-Auth-Token: AUTH_TOKEN

4.5.3. Swift create or update an object

To create a new object, make a PUT request with the API version, account, container name, and the name of the new object. You must have write permission on the container to create or update an object. The object name must be unique within the container. The PUT request is not idempotent, so if you do not use a unique name, the request will update the object. However, you can use pseudo-hierarchical syntax in the object name to distinguish it from another object of the same name if it is under a different pseudo-hierarchical directory. You can include access control headers and metadata headers in the request.

Syntax

PUT /API_VERSION/ACCOUNT/TENANT:CONTAINER HTTP/1.1

4.5.4. Swift delete an object

To delete an object, make a DELETE request with the API version, account, container, and object name. You must have write permissions on the container to delete an object within it. Once you’ve successfully deleted the object, you will be able to reuse the object name.

Syntax

DELETE /API_VERSION/ACCOUNT/TENANT:CONTAINER/OBJECT HTTP/1.1
Host: FULLY_QUALIFIED_DOMAIN_NAME
X-Auth-Token: AUTH_TOKEN

4.5.5. Swift copy an object

Copying an object allows you to make a server-side copy of an object, so that you do not have to download it and upload it under another container. To copy the contents of one object to another object, you can make either a PUT request or a COPY request with the API version, account, and the container name.

For a PUT request, use the destination container and object name in the request, and the source container and object in the request header.

For a Copy request, use the source container and object in the request, and the destination container and object in the request header. You must have write permission on the container to copy an object. The destination object name must be unique within the container. The request is not idempotent, so if you do not use a unique name, the request will update the destination object. You can use pseudo-hierarchical syntax in the object name to distinguish the destination object from the source object of the same name if it is under a different pseudo-hierarchical directory. You can include access control headers and metadata headers in the request.

Syntax

PUT /API_VERSION/ACCOUNT/TENANT:CONTAINER HTTP/1.1
X-Copy-From: TENANT:SOURCE_CONTAINER/SOURCE_OBJECT
Host: FULLY_QUALIFIED_DOMAIN_NAME
X-Auth-Token: AUTH_TOKEN

or alternatively:

Syntax

COPY /API_VERSION/ACCOUNT/TENANT:SOURCE_CONTAINER/SOURCE_OBJECT HTTP/1.1
Destination: TENANT:DEST_CONTAINER/DEST_OBJECT

Request Headers

4.5.6. Swift get object metadata

To retrieve an object’s metadata, make a HEAD request with the API version, account, container, and object name. You must have read permissions on the container to retrieve metadata from an object within the container. This request returns the same header information as the request for the object itself, but it does not return the object’s data.

Syntax

HEAD /API_VERSION/ACCOUNT/TENANT:CONTAINER/OBJECT HTTP/1.1
Host: FULLY_QUALIFIED_DOMAIN_NAME
X-Auth-Token: AUTH_TOKEN

4.5.7. Swift add or update object metadata

To add metadata to an object, make a POST request with the API version, account, container, and object name. You must have write permissions on the parent container to add or update metadata.

Syntax

POST /API_VERSION/ACCOUNT/TENANT:CONTAINER/OBJECT HTTP/1.1
Host: FULLY_QUALIFIED_DOMAIN_NAME
X-Auth-Token: AUTH_TOKEN

Request Headers

X-Object-Meta-KEY
Description
A user-defined meta data key that takes an arbitrary string value.
Type
String
Required
No

4.6. Swift temporary URL operations

To allow temporary access, temp url functionality is supported by swift endpoint of radosgw. For example GET requests, to objects without the need to share credentials.

For this functionality, initially the value of X-Account-Meta-Temp-URL-Key and optionally X-Account-Meta-Temp-URL-Key-2 should be set. The Temp URL functionality relies on a HMAC-SHA1 signature against these secret keys.

4.7. Swift get temporary URL objects

Temporary URL uses a cryptographic HMAC-SHA1 signature, which includes the following elements:

  • The value of the Request method, "GET" for instance
  • The expiry time, in the format of seconds since the epoch, that is, Unix time
  • The request path starting from "v1" onwards

The above items are normalized with newlines appended between them, and a HMAC is generated using the SHA-1 hashing algorithm against one of the Temp URL Keys posted earlier.

A sample python script to demonstrate the above is given below:

Example

import hmac
from hashlib import sha1
from time import time

method = 'GET'
host = 'https://objectstore.example.com'
duration_in_seconds = 300  # Duration for which the url is valid
expires = int(time() + duration_in_seconds)
path = '/v1/your-bucket/your-object'
key = 'secret'
hmac_body = '%s\n%s\n%s' % (method, expires, path)
hmac_body = hmac.new(key, hmac_body, sha1).hexdigest()
sig = hmac.new(key, hmac_body, sha1).hexdigest()
rest_uri = "{host}{path}?temp_url_sig={sig}&temp_url_expires={expires}".format(
     host=host, path=path, sig=sig, expires=expires)
print rest_uri

Example Output

https://objectstore.example.com/v1/your-bucket/your-object?temp_url_sig=ff4657876227fc6025f04fcf1e82818266d022c6&temp_url_expires=1423200992

4.8. Swift POST temporary URL keys

A POST request to the swift account with the required Key will set the secret temp URL key for the account against which temporary URL access can be provided to accounts. Up to two keys are supported, and signatures are checked against both the keys, if present, so that keys can be rotated without invalidating the temporary URLs.

Syntax

POST /API_VERSION/ACCOUNT HTTP/1.1
Host: FULLY_QUALIFIED_DOMAIN_NAME
X-Auth-Token: AUTH_TOKEN

Request Headers

X-Account-Meta-Temp-URL-Key
Description
A user-defined key that takes an arbitrary string value.
Type
String
Required
Yes
X-Account-Meta-Temp-URL-Key-2
Description
A user-defined key that takes an arbitrary string value.
Type
String
Required
No

4.9. Swift multi-tenancy container operations

When a client application accesses containers, it always operates with credentials of a particular user. In Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster, every user belongs to a tenant. Consequently, every container operation has an implicit tenant in its context if no tenant is specified explicitly. Thus multi-tenancy is completely backward compatible with previous releases, as long as the referred containers and referring user belong to the same tenant.

Extensions employed to specify an explicit tenant differ according to the protocol and authentication system used.

A colon character separates tenant and container, thus a sample URL would be:

Example

https://rgw.domain.com/tenant:container

By contrast, in a create_container() method, simply separate the tenant and container in the container method itself:

Example

create_container("tenant:container")

Appendix G. Examples using the Secure Token Service APIs

These examples are using Python’s boto3 module to interface with the Ceph Object Gateway’s implementation of the Secure Token Service (STS). In these examples, TESTER2 assumes a role created by TESTER1, as to access S3 resources owned by TESTER1 based on the permission policy attached to the role.

The AssumeRole example creates a role, assigns a policy to the role, then assumes a role to get temporary credentials and access to S3 resources using those temporary credentials.

The AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity example authenticates users using an external application with Keycloak, an OpenID Connect identity provider, assumes a role to get temporary credentials and access S3 resources according to the permission policy of the role.

AssumeRole Example

import boto3

iam_client = boto3.client('iam',
aws_access_key_id=ACCESS_KEY_OF_TESTER1,
aws_secret_access_key=SECRET_KEY_OF_TESTER1,
endpoint_url=<IAM URL>,
