Migrate Bucket Data

FPT Object Storage is built to the AWS S3-compatible standard, allowing users to easily migrate data from any Object Storage provider to the FPT system intact. The Migrate Bucket Data feature is designed to simplify the data migration process. Users only need to declare the required information and the system will automatically handle the rest. Before migrating data, please read the following important notes carefully:

1. Collect authentication credentials from your S3 provider: Before starting, make sure you have collected all authentication information from the S3 provider hosting the Source Bucket, including the Endpoint and Access Key.

2. Contact your S3 provider to optimize bandwidth and QoS: Because the data transfer will take place over the Internet, transfer speed may depend on the bandwidth of the S3 Provider hosting the Source Bucket. Contact that S3 Provider and request increased bandwidth and QoS for the bucket to speed up the process.

3. Minimize changes to the bucket and objects during data migration: The Migrate Bucket Data feature captures the list of objects in the bucket when the job is created and will only transfer based on that list. Therefore, during the migration you should avoid modifying objects in the bucket.

• If an object is added after the job is created => That object will not be transferred.
• If an object is deleted after the job is created => The job will still run and skip the deleted object, but the job will be in an error state.

4. Manage Access Key information securely: Access Key information is stored on FPT Cloud servers while the job runs and is deleted from the system as soon as the job completes. However, for security purposes, only create Access Keys with limited permissions and deactivate them immediately after the job completes.

Instructions:

Step 1: Go to Object Storage Management, open the Migrate Bucket tab, then select Add Migrate Job.

Step 2: Declare the Source Config

• Provider: Select the Object Storage provider. The S3 Compatible option works with most providers currently on the market.
• Endpoint: The endpoint address of the Source bucket.
• Region: The region of the Source bucket.
• Access Key/Secret Key: The Access Key pair.

Step 3: Select the Source Bucket.

Step 4: Select the Destination Bucket. Choose a region on FPT Object Storage and the bucket to store the data.

Step 5: Confirm the information and select Create. The system will automatically start the data transfer process. Throughout this process, you must not delete the declared Access Key to avoid interrupting or causing errors in the job.
