Connecting Arvan Cloud Object Storage (AOS)

This guide walks you through connecting an Arvan Cloud Object Storage (AOS) destination to Pluton.

Prerequisites​

Before connecting Arvan Cloud Object Storage, you need:

  1. An ArvanCloud account - Sign up here
  2. S3 API credentials (Access Key ID and Secret Access Key) from your ArvanCloud panel

Getting Your ArvanCloud Credentials​

Step 1: Generate API Keys​

  1. Log into the ArvanCloud Panel
  2. Navigate to Cloud Storage (Object Storage) section
  3. Go to API Keys or S3 Access Keys
  4. Click Create Key to generate a new S3-compatible key pair
  5. Copy the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key
  6. Important: Save both credentials immediately - the Secret Access Key is shown only once

Step 2: Create a Bucket​

  1. In the Cloud Storage section, click Create Bucket
  2. Enter a unique bucket name
  3. Select your preferred region (e.g., ir-thr-at1 for Tehran)
  4. Configure access settings and create the bucket
  5. Note the region code and endpoint for your bucket

Connecting to Pluton​

Pluton Arvan Cloud

Step 1: Add Storage​

  1. In Pluton, navigate to Storages
  2. Click Add Storage button
  3. Select Arvan Cloud Object Storage (AOS) from the provider list

Step 2: Configure Connection​

Fill in the required fields:

  • Storage Name: A friendly name (e.g., "ArvanCloud Backups")
  • Access Key ID: Paste your ArvanCloud S3 Access Key ID
  • Secret Access Key: Paste your ArvanCloud S3 Secret Access Key
  • Region: Your ArvanCloud region code (e.g., ir-thr-at1)

Optionally:

  • Endpoint: Your ArvanCloud S3 endpoint (e.g., s3.ir-thr-at1.arvanstorage.ir). If left blank, it will be derived from the region.

Step 3: Advanced Options (Optional)​

Additional settings available:

  • Server-side Encryption: Choose AES256 or KMS encryption for data at rest
  • Storage Class: Select the storage class for new objects
  • Bucket ACL: Set access control for bucket operations
  • Upload Cutoff: Threshold for switching to chunked uploads (default: 200 MiB)
  • Chunk Size: Size of chunks for multipart uploads (default: 5 MiB)
  • Force Path Style: Enabled by default; use path-style access for S3 requests

Step 4: Test and Save​

  1. Click Test Connection to verify credentials
  2. If successful, click Save
  3. Your Arvan Cloud Object Storage is now ready for backup plans

Common Issues​

Authentication Failure: Verify your Access Key ID and Secret Access Key are correct. Ensure the key has not been revoked in the ArvanCloud panel.

Region or Endpoint Error: Make sure the region code matches your bucket's region (e.g., ir-thr-at1). The endpoint format is s3.{region}.arvanstorage.ir.

Bucket Not Found: Confirm the bucket name is correct and exists in your ArvanCloud account with matching region.

Best Practices​

  • Create dedicated S3 keys for Pluton with minimum required permissions
  • Use the region closest to your Pluton server for best performance
  • Enable server-side encryption for sensitive backup data
  • Monitor storage usage through the ArvanCloud panel regularly
