Samsung Cloud Platform (SCP) Object Storage is a robust, scalable, and secure service that allows you to store and manage vast amounts of data. With the MinIO CLI, you can easily manage your SCP Object Storage right from your command line, providing you with powerful control over your data
Start by downloading the MinIO CLI, changing its permissions, and moving it to your local binary directory. This will allow you to use the MinIO CLI commands from anywhere on your system
wget https://dl.min.io/client/mc/release/linux-amd64/mc
chmod +x ./mc
sudo mv ./mc /usr/local/bin/mc
ubuntu@scp:~$ wget https://dl.min.io/client/mc/release/linux-amd64/mc

Next, create an alias to configure the Endpoint URL, Access Key ID, and Secret Access Key. This will allow the MinIO CLI to interact with your SCP Object Storage
Replace
<obsAccessKey>,<obsSecretKey>, and<obsRestEndpoint>with your credentials and endpoint URL
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="<obsAccessKey>"
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="<obsSecretKey>"
export S3_ENDPOINT_URL="<obsRestEndpoint>"
mc alias set scp $S3_ENDPOINT_URL $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID $AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
ubuntu@scp:~$ mc alias set scp $S3_ENDPOINT_URL $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID $AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
mc: Configuration written to `/home/ubuntu/.mc/config.json`. Please update your access credentials.
mc: Successfully created `/home/ubuntu/.mc/share`.

Finally, use the MinIO CLI commands to create a bucket, list buckets, copy objects, and delete objects. These commands give you full control over your SCP Object Storage
MinIO CLI Command Quick Reference
mc mb scp/bk-minio
mc ls scp
ubuntu@scp:~$ mc mb scp/bk-minio
Bucket created successfully `scp/bk-minio`.
ubuntu@scp:~$ mc ls scp
[2023-07-17 09:46:59 KST] 0B bk-scp/
[2023-10-03 12:34:56 KST] 0B bk-minio/
ubuntu@scp:~$
You can not only transfer data between your local system and SCP but also seamlessly move data between SCP and other object storage service providers like AWS, GCP, and MinIO. It’s all about simplifying your data management
