Create a Container

A container is a storage compartment that provides a way to organize the data that’s stored in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage Classic.

Before you send REST API calls to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage Classic, you need a valid authentication token. If you obtained a token less than 30 minutes ago, then you can use that token. Otherwise, to get a new token, see Get an Authentication Token.

1. Send a PUT request, specifying the name of the container. Specify the authentication token in the x-auth-token header.

   Syntax

   curl -i -X PUT \
     {accountRestEndpointURL}/{containerName} \
     -H 'x-auth-token: {authToken}'

   Sample Command

   curl -i -X PUT \
     https://myaccount.ocm.rack01.example.com/v1/Storage-myaccount/mycontainer \
     -H 'x-auth-token: AUTH_tk10d7cf10041726fa2e64652d975bbab0'

2. In the response, look for 201 Created.
