12 days ago by skotyck@akamai.com

This release includes the following updates.

  • We’ve introduced new Object Storage Endpoint Type naming, E0, E1, E2, E3, to make it easier for you to understand endpoint performance and limits.
  • Object Storage E2 endpoints are now Generally Available (GA) in Melbourne and Singapore.
  • Object Storage E3 endpoints are now Generally Available (GA) in London.
  • All new E2 endpoints support higher performance and durability including:
    • 11 9’s of durability.
    • And a default of 2,000 Requests per Second (RPS) per bucket.
  • All new E3 endpoints support higher performance and durability including:
    • 11 9's of durability.
    • A default of 2,000 Requests per Second (RPS) per bucket.
    • A maximum bucket capacity of up to 5PB and 10 billion objects.
    • And support for a maximum of 20,000 RPS per bucket.
  • Details on the intent to introduce per request pricing is available on the Pricing page.

Known issues

  • The bucket rate limits on the Create Bucket page in Cloud Manager are greyed out and cannot be selected.
    • If bucket rate limit increases are required, please open a support ticket.
  • The bucket rate limits on the Bucket Properties page in Cloud Manager are greyed out, cannot be selected, and do not reflect approved rate limit increases.
    • Rate limit increases will be confirmed in the support ticket request.
  • If access keys are created without a region specified when using the Linode CLI, the new E2 and E3 endpoints may not be automatically included in the key scope. To workaround this issue, and as best practice, you should always define the region(s) in scope for the key when it is created.
    • The list of regions to use during access key creation can be found in the region column of the table within the Supported endpoint types by region section.
      Example: Create an access key for 1 region:
      linode-cli object-storage keys-create --label "my-new-access-key" --regions us-sea
      Example: Create an access key for multiple regions:
      linode-cli object-storage keys-create --label "my-new-access-key" --regions us-sea --regions de-fra-2
