Backblaze B2

Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage is a performant, cost-effective alternative to the major cloud providers. Arraylake works great with Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage via the S3-compatible API. You can use Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage as the location of your Chunkstore.

To use Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage with Arraylake:

Create a new object storage bucket (Backblaze docs). For example, the bucket could be named my-arraylake-bucket. Your bucket will be located in a specific Backblaze region. You need to know the region name for the next step (e.g. us-west-004).
Create a new BucketConfig to store the configuration for this bucket using either the Arraylake Python client or web app:

Backblaze bucket configuration — Add a new Backblaze bucket

from arraylake import Client

client = Client()

client.create_bucket_config(
  org="earthmover",
  nickname="my-backblaze-bucket",
  uri="s3://my-arraylake-bucket",
  extra_config={'endpoint_url': 'https://s3.us-west-004.backblazeb2.com'}
)

That's it! You're ready to create a Repository! 🎉
