Introduction

Lyve Cloud lets customers safely store their data with:

• Amazon S3 compatibility with public and hybrid cloud environments.
• Multi-copy and geographically distributed data protection.
• Immutability options.
• Eventually consistent replication
• Hyper-scalability to serve varying workload types.

As an S3 compatible storage system, Lyve Cloud can be easily integrated with existing S3 compatible applications.

• An S3 bucket is a public cloud storage resource that contains objects.
• The Simple Storage Service (S3) data model uses a flat structure, where all objects are stored inside the root of the bucket with no hierarchy of folders and subfolders.
• It's possible to filter objects using prefixes and delimiters to a subset of the bucket.
• An object is uniquely identified by its bucket, its full name (also known as object ID), and optional associated metadata.

Clients and Network Connectivity

Lyve Cloud exposes an S3 compatible interface over HTTPS. The interface can be used in two ways:

Interactively:

• Lyve Cloud’s Native Web GUI, best for simplified management access.
• Third-Party S3 compatible GUI or CLI client.

Programmatically:

• Via API calls with S3 compatible SDKs or libraries with Endpoint, Access Key and Secret Key credentials.

API Guide

The API Guide is accessible from the Lyve Cloud Web GUI: https://www.seagate.com/cloud/support/documentation/.

Lyve Cloud object storage has been tested against all major SDKs for S3 clients (boto python library, aws sdk Go library, aws sdk JS library), S3 GUIs (CyberDuck, S3browser), and various S3 compatible applications. Check with Lyve support for a compatibility listing.
