You can configure VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension with AWS S3, with a Dell EMC ECS, with a Cloudian HyperStore cluster, or with any S3 compliant object storage cluster that implements the Object Storage Interoperability Service (OSIS) interface.

If you are using an S3 compliant object storage cluster other than AWS, Cloudian HyperStore or DELL ECS, you can integrate VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension by implementing the Object Storage Interoperability Service (OSIS) interface. For more information, please refer to Object Storage Interoperability Service Development Guide.

After you deploy VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension and configure the connections to VMware Cloud Director and your dedicated database, you configure the connections to the underlying storage platform or service.
