Cloud Storage

Manage cloud object storage (GCS, S3, Azure Blob) as backing storage for MayaNAS. Cloud storage is configured automatically during marketplace deployments, but you can add additional accounts and buckets post-deployment.

Access

Navigate to Cloud Storage in the Web UI sidebar.

Cloud Accounts

A cloud account defines the credentials and endpoint for a cloud provider.

Create a Cloud Account

1. Click New Cloud
2. Fill in the account details:

Field	Description
Name	Account label (e.g., gcp-prod)
Cloud Type	Provider: Google Storage, AWS S3, Azure Blob, or S3-compatible
Access Key	Cloud provider access key or service account
Secret Key	Cloud provider secret key
Storage URL	Endpoint URL (auto-filled for major providers)
Region	Storage region

3. Click Create

Delete a Cloud Account

1. Select the account
2. Click Delete

Caution

Deleting a cloud account does not remove the buckets in the cloud provider. It only removes the account reference from MayaNAS.

Cloud Buckets

Buckets hold the object data backing your ZFS pools.

View Buckets

Switch to the Cloud Buckets tab to see buckets organized by cloud account. Each bucket shows:

• Cloud account name
• Blob count
• Bucket size

Click List on any bucket to count all blobs and calculate total size.

Create a Bucket

1. Select a cloud account
2. Click Create
3. Enter the bucket name
4. Click OK

Create a Cloud Disk from a Bucket

A cloud disk makes a bucket usable as a block device for ZFS pools.

1. Select a bucket
2. Click Bind
3. Configure the cloud disk:

Field	Description
Disk Name	Name for the cloud disk device
Size	Disk capacity
Block Size	Block size for cloud objects (1 MB recommended)
Cache File	Optional local cache file path
Loop Device	Optional loop device binding
Cluster ID	Auto-filled in HA configurations

4. Click Create

Delete a Bucket

1. Select the bucket
2. Click Delete

Caution

Only empty buckets can be deleted. Remove all blobs first.
