Cloudflare R2

Cloudflare R2 is an object storage service that stores data in Cloudflare's edge network and has no egress charges. Arraylake works great with Cloudflare R2 via the S3-compatible API. You can use Cloudflare R2 as the location of your Chunkstore.

To use Cloudflare R2 with Arraylake:

Create a new object storage bucket (Cloudflare docs). For example, the bucket could be named my-arraylake-bucket.
Find your Cloudflare account ID (available in the Cloudflare Dashboard). For example, this could be a string like cab3937k17x81138v8xx228kd789d8d3.
Create a new BucketConfig to store the configuration for this bucket using either the Arraylake Python client or web app:

CloudFlare bucket configuration — Add a new CloudFlare bucket

from arraylake import Client

client = Client()

client.create_bucket_config(
  org="earthmover",
  nickname="my-ceph-bucket",
  uri="s3://my-arraylake-bucket",
  extra_config={
    'endpoint_url': 'https://cab3937k17x81138v8xx228kd789d8d3.r2.cloudflarestorage.com'
    }
)
