Note: Your password should be updated automatically for you, but sometimes you may be asked to change it after signing in the first time. If prompted, pleaseupdate the password. You can use this one to expedite things: Oracle123!!!! . It will not be saved after this lab expires.

Step 2. Reduce the browser display size as needed(Below example is for Chrome).

In this section we will create Object storage bucket. Using Object storage does not require creating any other resource.

Step 1. From the OCI Services menu, click Object Storage

Step 2. Select the correct Compartment (Left side of the OCI console) as shown below.

Choose Compartment: {{9599c74b-3e30-24cf-b385-f9c59364604b.output.compartment_name}}

Step 3. Click Create Bucket, Fill out the dialog box:

3.1 Bucket Name: Provide a name (Test-Bucket in this lab)

3.2 Storage Tier: STANDARD

Step 4. Click Create Bucket.

You have now created Object Storage bucket though there are no Objects in it(text filemedia file, image etc). Next wewill go over the steps on how to upload an object and share it for other users to download it.

In this section we will go over the steps needed to upload an object (text file, media file, image etc) and how to create a pre-authenticated request so the object is accessible from the internet.

Step 1. Click on the Apps icon and select Git-Bash to open a terminal window.

Change directory to the Downloads folder Enter command:

$ cd /c/Users/PhotonUser/Downloads

Step 2. Create a sample file, enter command:

$ touch samplefile

This should create file by the name "samplefile" in the downloads folder.

Step 3. Switch to OCI console and click the Bucket Name.

Step 4. The Bucket detail window should be visible. Click Upload Object.

Step 5. Click Browse. Navigate to This PC > Downloads. You should see the samplefile created earlier. Select it and click Upload Object in the dialog box.

Step 6. The file should be visible under Objects. Click Action icon and click Create Pre-Authenticated Request. This will create a web link that can be used to access the object Without requiring any additional authentication.

Step 7. Fill out the dialog box:

7.1 NAME: Use an easy to remember name.

7.2 PRE AUTHENTICATION REQUEST TARGET: OBJECT

7.3 ACCESS TYPE: PERMIT READS ON THE OBJECT

7.4 EXPIRATION DATE/TIME: Specify link expiration date

Step 8. Click Create Pre-Authenticated Request

Step 9. Click Copy to copy the link

NOTE: The link must be copied and saved once the window is closed the link can not be retrieved again. You can launch Notepad using App icon and copy it.

Step 10. Click Close.

Step 11. Open a new browser window and paste Pre-Authenticated link.

Step 12: An option to download the file will appear.

NOTE: Do NOT download the file as due to space restrictions it is not allowed for the purpose of this lab.

You have uploaded an object to Object Storage bucket, created a pre-authenticated link and successfully accessed the object. The Pre-Authenticated link can be shared with other users to provide them access to the object.Multiple objects of any size can be uploaded to the bucket and shared across teams/users.

Step 1. From the Object Storage detail window, Click Pre-Authenticated Requests, click Delete, then Click OK in Confirm window.

Step 2. Click Objects, Click the action icon , select Delete, click OK in the Confirm window.

Step 3.Under Bucket Name, Click Delete, then click OK in the Confirm window.

Congratulations! You have successfully completed the Cloud Storage Lab for Object Storage. In this lab, you created Object Storage bucket, uploaded a file to the bucket, created a Pre-Authenticated link to share the file. Feel free to continue exploring or start a new lab. Thank you for taking this training lab!
