Configuring VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension with an object storage platform

You can configure VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension with an AWS S3, Dell EMC ECS, Cloudian HyperStore, or MinIO 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 S3, Cloudian HyperStore, Dell EMC ECS, or MinIO, you can integrate VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension by implementing the Object Storage Interoperability Service (OSIS) interface. For more information, see the 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.
