Chapter 2. Accessing the Multicloud Object Gateway with your applications

PDF

You can access the object service with any application targeting AWS S3 or code that uses AWS S3 Software Development Kit (SDK). Applications need to specify the MCG endpoint, an access key, and a secret access key. You can use your terminal or the MCG CLI to retrieve this information.

For information on accessing the RADOS Object Gateway S3 endpoint, see Chapter 11, Accessing the RADOS Object Gateway S3 endpoint.

Prerequisites

A running OpenShift Container Storage Platform

Download the MCG command-line interface for easier management:

# subscription-manager repos --enable=rh-ocs-4-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
# yum install mcg

Alternatively, you can install the mcg package from the OpenShift Container Storage RPMs found at Download RedHat OpenShift Container Storage page.

You can access the relevant endpoint, access key, and secret access key two ways:

Section 2.1, “Accessing the Multicloud Object Gateway from the terminal”
Section 2.2, “Accessing the Multicloud Object Gateway from the MCG command-line interface”
Accessing the MCG bucket(s) using the virtual-hosted style
Example 2.1. Example
If the client application tries to access https://<bucket-name>.s3-openshift-storage.apps.mycluster-cluster.qe.rh-ocs.com
where <bucket-name> is the name of the MCG bucket
For example, https://mcg-test-bucket.s3-openshift-storage.apps.mycluster-cluster.qe.rh-ocs.com
A DNS entry is needed for mcg-test-bucket.s3-openshift-storage.apps.mycluster-cluster.qe.rh-ocs.com to point to the S3 Service.

Important

Ensure that you have a DNS entry in order to point the client application to the MCG bucket(s) using the virtual-hosted style.

2.1. Accessing the Multicloud Object Gateway from the terminal

Procedure

Run the describe command to view information about the MCG endpoint, including its access key (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID value) and secret access key (AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY value):

# oc describe noobaa -n openshift-storage

The output will look similar to the following:

    Lets get started:

    1. Connect to Management console:

      Read your mgmt console login information (email & password) from secret: "noobaa-admin".

        kubectl get secret noobaa-admin -n openshift-storage -o json | jq '.data|map_values(@base64d)'

      Open the management console service - take External IP/DNS or Node Port or use port forwarding:

        kubectl port-forward -n openshift-storage service/noobaa-mgmt 11443:443 &
        open https://localhost:11443

    2. Test S3 client:

      kubectl port-forward -n openshift-storage service/s3 10443:443 &

      NOOBAA_ACCESS_KEY=$(kubectl get secret noobaa-admin -n openshift-storage -o json | jq -r '.data.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID|@base64d')
2
      NOOBAA_SECRET_KEY=$(kubectl get secret noobaa-admin -n openshift-storage -o json | jq -r '.data.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY|@base64d')
      alias s3='AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$NOOBAA_ACCESS_KEY AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$NOOBAA_SECRET_KEY aws --endpoint https://localhost:10443 --no-verify-ssl s3'
      s3 ls

You now have the relevant endpoint, access key, and secret access key in order to connect to your applications.

Example 2.2. Example

If AWS S3 CLI is the application, the following command will list buckets in OpenShift Container Storage:

AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>
aws --endpoint <ENDPOINT> --no-verify-ssl s3 ls
