Getting Access to CESNET S3

The procedure to get access to the service depends on your needs.

Personal S3 Access

Provided you are seeking an S3 service that

• provides just a personal S3 space for your own use,
• doesn’t support sharing between users and/or groups,
• has a standard quota of 2 TB (can be increased on request),
• but is available just upon simple registration (you need to be an employee or a student of a Czech public university, the AS CR, or an employee of a CESNET customer; you are expected to declare your eligibility using the identity federation), you are invited to register at https://einfra.cesnet.cz/allfed/registrar/?vo=VO_s3&group=s3_cl4.

Group S3 Access, aka “Virtual Organisation”

In case you need access to S3, and any of the conditions above doesn’t fit your needs, we will typically prepare a “Virtual Organisation” and appropriate S3 service for you individually.

Contact our support at support@cesnet.cz and we’ll discuss your expectations with you.

You can also refer to common S3 use cases for inspiration about serving typical use cases.

Accessing the Storage

You will need a suitable S3 client, and to configure it with your storage access credentials.

Kindly note that personal S3 appears as “Personal Account” in the system; other Virtual Organisations are listed individually. We recommend using separate access/secret key pair for each and every specific tool you access the storage with.
