Is there any way to sync container in swift object storage with bucket in IBM COS S3?

Example:

Swift object storage

authurl=
username=
apikey=
conatainer = test1

IBM COS

access_key=
secret_key=
bucket_name= test2

could we sync container and the bucket?

Solution

  • Unfortunately, it is not possible to sync containers by using the API at this time. Container sync for ICOS is on the roadmap but not yet slated for a scheduled release.

    Note that sync for replication and data resiliency is not necessary with the Cross Region object storage. Objects are sliced, encrypted, and dispersed across data centers in Washington DC, Dallas, and San Jose, and it would take catastrophic failures at two of these locations simultaneously for data to be at risk.

    Sync for reasons of minimizing latency can be valuable. Currently, Cross Region object storage is only available in the US, but similar offerings are in the works for Europe and Asia-Pacific.
