HUB SuperAdmins have the option to store any order linked to specific projects directly to their own cloud storage. This is advantageous for organizations that already have a company cloud storage option.
With this feature release for HUB, SkyWatch supports the following cloud storage options:
S3 Buckets
Azure
Google Cloud
To learn how to create and link a cloud storage to a select HUB project, please follow the instructions below.
Note: Only SuperAdmins have the permissions to add cloud storage to a HUB organization.
1. Creating a HUB Storage Link
To create a new link to an organization cloud storage, log onto HUB and go to the "Organization" tab.
In "Organization" HUB users will see a new tab in the table labelled "Storage".
Here is where a HUB SuperAdmin user can add a storage location to the HUB organization account. If the user does not have a SuperAdmin role, they will need to contact their SuperAdmin to add a storage location.
To begin the process, click on "+Add Storage Location".
A message will appear asking what type of storage the user wants to add.
Depending on the preferred storage location selected, the following information will be required to complete the process:
S3 Bucket
Name (Name for storage location to appear on HUB)
S3 Bucket link
AWS Region
Access Key
Secret Access Key
Google Cloud
Name
Bucket link
Private Key ID
Private Key
Email
Token URL
Azure Cloud
Name
Container
Connecting String
Once the HUB SuperAdmin has added all the required information and the storage location is created, it will appear on the table in "Organization" -> "Storage".
2. Linking Storage to Project
After the storage location is created, the SuperAdmin will need to link it to their desired project so all future orders placed with this project will also be saved to the cloud storage location.
In "Organization" -> "Project", select the Actions button for the desired project.
Click on the "Linked Storage Location" option, and in the drop-down menu select the Storage Name.
Once selected, the storage name will appear in the "Storage Location" column.
3. Order to Storage
With the storage location linked to a project, now every time an order is created and billing to that project, the data will be saved to the storage location.
