##Object storage management
OpenStack supports object storage based on [OpenStack Swift](https://docs.openstack.org/swift/latest/api/object_api_v1_overview.html). Creation of object storage container (database) is done by clicking on `+Container` on [Object storage containers page](https://dashboard.cloud.muni.cz/project/containers).
Every object typically contains data along with metadata and unique global identifier to access it. OpenStack allows you to upload your files via HTTPs protocol. There are two ways managing created object storage container:
1. Use OpenStack component [Swift](https://docs.openstack.org/swift/train/admin/index.html)
2. Use [S3 API](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/Welcome.html)
In both cases you will need application credentials to be able to manage your data.
### Swift credentials
The easiest way to generate **Swift** storage credentials is through [MetaCentrum cloud dashboard](https://dashboard.cloud.muni.cz). You can generate application credentials as described [here](/cli/#getting-credentials). You must have role **heat_stack_owner**.
### S3 credentials
If you want to use **S3 API** you will need to generate ec2 credentials for access. Note that to generate ec2 credentials you will also need credentials containing role of **heat_stack_owner**. Once you sourced your credentials for CLI you can generate ec2 credentials by following command:
s3cmd client requires configuration file which looks like:
In this case please open your file with credentials which will look like this:
```
default]
access_key = 896**************************651
secret_key = 336**************************49c
host_base = object-store.cloud.muni.cz
host_bucket = object-store.cloud.muni.cz
use_https = True
```
