	Buckets are containers for S3-compatible objects. They're similar to Network Shares but rather than using file protocols like NFS and SMB, buckets are accessed natively using the S3-compatible protocol over HTTPS and/or HTTP. To create a Object Bucket one must first create at least one Object User and have created an Object Storage Pool Group. Note, if file access to a given to an Object Bucket is required one may create/add a Cloud Storage Container for a given Bucket via the '''Cloud Integration''' section.

	Each system has a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) such as qstor1.example.com. In this example the ''example.com'' portion of the FQDN is called the ''domain suffix''. In order for QuantaStor to properly setup the Object Gateway for S3 access the domain suffix must be specified, as this is used in the URLs for object gateway access. If they are not set up correctly, the system will present a warning in the Ceph Member list view.		Each system has a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) such as qstor1.example.com.

Object Storage Pool Groups provide the ability to create object buckets and access the cluster via the S3-compatible protocol. There can only be one Object Storage Pool Group per cluster but one may add many data pools to the pool group in order to have various Storage Classes with different characteristics including different media types (nvme, ssd, hdd) and layouts (EC, replica).

	An S3 Object Storage Zone is a group of Ceph Pools that are used to deliver S3 Object Storage. QuantaStor automatically creates the necessary Ceph Pools when you create an Object Storage Group, simply select which cluster to create the group in and give the group an administrative name. A default ~~Ceph~~ Object Storage User Admin called 'qsobjadmin' with unique generated S3 access and secret keys will be created. This user cannot be deleted, but it can be disabled if you would prefer to use your own custom created admin user accounts.

	Make sure that all of the network ports selected for the front-end network are the ~~ports~~ that will be used for client access ~~(S3, iSCSI/RBD)~~ and ~~that the~~ back-end ~~ports are on a private~~ network.		Make sure that all of the network ports selected for the front-end network are the interfaces that will be used for client access. We recommend using the same network for both the front-end and back-end by using network interface teaming/bonding. This will provide the best overall performance and network fault tolerance while also reducing maintenance costs through reduced complexity.
