NRS Objectstore

Introduction

The NRS Objectstore is available for use on this project. For now, this will just be used for database backups; however, this can later be used for storage of large files (pictures, documents, videos, etc).

Configuration

There are three buckets, each representing an environent. This information, along with credentials is stored in the OpenShift vault (https://console.apps.silver.devops.gov.bc.ca/k8s/ns/c1c7ed-dev/secrets/object-store)

You can connect to each of these buckets using a tool of your choice (e.g. S3 Browser (https://s3browser.com/) [Windows], or Cyberduck (https://cyberduck.io/) [Mac]).
