2. Provide the following details and click **Save**.

> [!NOTE]
> The API access keys provided above are those created for the Wasabi account. It is recommended that you create sub-users and use their API keys for integrating applications with Wasabi. To increase security, give sub-users API-only access. For more information on creating a sub-user and its API keys, refer to [Creating a User Account and Access Key](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/creating-a-user-account-and-access-key)

> This config example discusses the use of Wasabi's us-east-2 storage region. To use another Wasabi storage region, select the appropriate region from the drop-down menu.
  - Display Name
  - Cloud Storage Provider - Select Wasabi from the drop-down menu
  - Wasabi Access Key ID - Access Key of your Wasabi account
  - Wasabi Secret Access Key - Secret Key of your Wasabi account
3. SSH to the CloudBoost Server as user *admin.*
4. Issue the following command to change the average chunk size from 256kB to 1MB for improved backup and restore performance. This will reboot the CloudBoost server.

**avgchunksize change 1024**

Example command output:

```bash
admin@mag-fs> avgchunksize change 1024

This command will restart the appliance! Are you sure?

To CONTINUE please type "Yes"

Yes

100% done. Status: Changed averageChunkSize from 256 to 1024 KB in Share 

Changing average chunk size of share: success
```
5. You can confirm the integration by checking the Wasabi account after a backup is performed. CloudBoost will create buckets with the naming convention mag-XXXXXXXX.
