Prerequisites 

• Wasabi with Dell ObjectScale account

Creating a Bucket With Postman 

These steps install Postman and set up your first bucket. 

1. Download and install Postman on your PC from https://www.postman.com/downloads/   
2. Open Postman and create your first Postman collection (to group your requests).  
3. Add a new request and assign a name (for example, Create Bucket).
4. Configure:

   Method: PUT
   URL: https://s3.us-east-1-dell-obs.wasabisys.com:9021/{{bucketname}}
   Bucket Name: Enter the desired bucket name replacing {{bucketname}} in the URL path.
   Be sure to click Save.

   Auth Type: AWS Signature
   Add auth data to: Request Headers
   AccessKey and SecretKey: Use the IAM access credentials from the "Welcome" email.
   Be sure to click Save.

   

6. Click Send to submit the request to create your bucket. You will receive a 200-response, indicating the bucket was created successfully.

   

7. To validate, create a new request to get the bucket details:
