# OpenDrives Atlas With Wasabi

Wasabi has been validated for use with [OpenDrives Atlas](https://opendrives.com/products/atlas/). The OpenDrives Atlas platform drives ultra-high-performance NAS storage. To use this platform with Wasabi, follow the instructions below.

### **Reference Architecture**

### **Requirements**

- Atlas v2.3 or above running on OpenDrives hardware platform
- Standard Atlas license (no additional license required)
- Active Wasabi account

### **Create S3 mount**

Follow the steps outlined below to connect your OpenDrives system to your Wasabi S3 bucket.

1. Log in to the OpenDrives system. Navigate to **Storage**, then **Mount Management**. Click **New Mount**.

2. From the **FileSystem Type** dropdown menu, select **S3** as the type and provide the following information.
  1. Enter your Wasabi bucket name in the **Bucket** field below.
  2. Enter the **Endpoint** where the bucket can be reached.
    - For Example: [https://s3.us-west-1.wasabisys.com](https://s3.us-west-1.wasabisys.com).
  3. Enter the local **Mountpoint** on the OpenDrives system where you want the bucket mounted.

***Note****: In addition to filling in the text fields for a simple mount, scroll to the bottom of the page to see a section for advanced parameters. These settings are an alternative to and in addition to the text fields.*

***Note****: This config example uses Wasabi’s us-west-1 storage region. To use other Wasabi storage regions, use the appropriate Wasabi service URL as described in this* [*article*](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/what-are-the-service-urls-for-wasabis-different-storage-regions).
3. Select your **Mount Profile** that you want to use for that connection. Select an existing profile from the dropdown menu or create a new profile per the instructions.

### **Profile Management**

As required for security by every S3 instance, you need to add your key and the secret key. OpenDrives provides profile management, allowing you to maintain multiple keys in your system.

1. Click **Available Profiles** under the Mount Profile option. Select **Add Profile**. Enter a profile name and your bucket keys.

2. If the mount should be persistent (available after a reboot of the OpenDrives system), leave the Persistent option enabled.

### **Create Samba/NFS share**

Now that you have mounted your S3 bucket to the OpenDrives system, you can take further advantage by resharing the bucket and providing read/write access to your LAN clients via SMB and NFS. In this example, we will be creating an SMB share for the S3 Mount.

1. Navigate to **Network**, then **SMB** on the left-hand menu. Click your system name to expand the panel.

2. This will reveal the **Create Share** button at the top right.

3. Enter your desired share name in the designated field. Click **Select A File Path** to expand the dropdown.

Press the enter key, and a **Verify** button will appear. Click the **Verify** button to validate that the given path exists.

  - If you don’t see your S3 mount point, enter the correct path into the field.
  - In our example, it is */mnt/mywasabi*.
4. Select **BASIC** from the **Recommended Settings** dropdown. Select **Save** as a final step.

5. The final result will be displayed after the settings have been saved and will resemble the image below.

You can now connect your clients to the Wasabi S3 bucket as if it were a NAS share.
