Concepts
Last updated:2024-01-06 14:09:14
Bucket
A bucket is a carrier of objects, which can be considered as a "container" for storing objects. You can manage
buckets and configure attributes for buckets through various methods such as the Tencent Cloud console, APIs, and
SDKs. For example, you can set a bucket to be used for static website hosting or set access permission for a bucket.
For more information, see Bucket Overview.
Object
An object is the basic unit of COS and is stored in a bucket just like a photo stored in an album. You can manage
objects in different ways including Tencent Cloud console, APIs, and SDKs. An object is named in the format of
.
For more information, see Object Overview.
APPID
APPID is a fixed unique application ID automatically assigned to you after you sign up for a Tencent Cloud account.
You can view your APPID on the Account Information page.
APPID is usually used in bucket names. A complete bucket name consists of a custom string and APPID separated by
hyphen, such as examplebucket-1250000000 , where 1250000000 is the APPID.
UID
APPID can also be used to generate temporary keys, specify bucket policies, or specify resources in CAM policy
settings. In such cases, APPID is also referred to as UID, both of which have the same value.
For more information, see Bucket Overview, Overview, and Resource Description Method.
UIN
A UIN is an account ID. It is fixed, unique, and in one-to-one correspondence to an APPID and can be viewed in
Account Information. In COS, it can be used to generate temporary keys, specify bucket policies, or specify resources
in CAM policy settings. In such cases, UIN and UID are used in the same way, but they have different prefixes.
For more information, see Overview and Resource Description Method.
ACL
An access control list (ACL) is a resource-based access management option and describes an access permission.
In COS, an ACL can be used to manage the access to buckets and objects. You can use it to grant other root
accounts, sub-accounts, and user groups basic read and write permissions.
For more information, see Basic Concepts of Access Control and ACL.

Cloud Object Storage
CORS
Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) refers to HTTP requests where the origin of the resource that initiates the
request is different from the origin of the destination resource.
SecretKey
SecretId and SecretKey , collectively referred to as the API key, are the security credential used for
authentication when you access a TencentCloud API and can be viewed on the Manage API Key key. SecretKey
is used to encrypt signature strings and verify them on the server. You can create multiple API keys for one APPID.
SecretId
SecretId and SecretKey , collectively referred to as the API key, are the security credential used for
authentication when you access a TencentCloud API and can be viewed on the Manage API Key key. SecretId
is used to identify the API caller. You can create multiple API keys for one APPID.
Policy
A policy consists of several elements and is used to describe specific information about authorization. For more
information, see Overview.
Public network downstream traffic
Public network downstream traffic is the traffic generated by data transfer from COS to the client over the internet,
including the traffic generated by downloading an object directly through an object link or by browsing an object at a
static website endpoint.
CDN origin-pull traffic
CDN origin-pull traffic is the traffic generated by data transfer from COS to CDN edge node.
Default endpoint
The default endpoint is COS origin's domain name, which is automatically generated based on the bucket name and
region when you create a bucket. It's important to distinguish it from the default acceleration domain name. For more
information, see Overview.
Default CDN acceleration domain name
It is the domain name passing through CDN cache nodes, which is generated by default and you can choose to enable
or disable. For more information, see Overview.
Custom CDN acceleration domain name
You can bind for your bucket a custom domain name to CDN and access objects in your bucket using this domain
name. For more information, see Overview.
©2013-2022 Tencent Cloud. All rights reserved.
Page 15 of 26
Cloud Object Storage
Custom origin domain name
You can bind your own domain name as a custom endpoint to the bucket for access to the objects in it. For more
information, see Overview.
Data retrieval
Storage classes suitable for cold data include STANDARD_IA and ARCHIVE. To read or download data in
STANDARD_IA, the backend needs to retrieve it first. ARCHIVED data cannot be read or downloaded until it is
restored to the STANDARD storage class.
MAZ
MAZ refers to the multi-AZ storage architecture provided by COS. Your data is distributed among multiple IDCs in a
region. When an IDC fails in extreme cases such as natural disasters or power outages, the multi-AZ storage
architecture can still provide stable and reliable storage services.
For more information, see Overview of Multi-AZ Feature.
Region
A region is a physical location where data centers are hosted on Tencent Cloud. COS data is stored in the buckets in
these regions.
For more information, see Regions and Access Endpoints.

Regions and Access Endpoints
Last updated:2024-01-06 14:09:14
Overview
A region is an area where a Tencent Cloud managed data center is deployed. COS data is stored in buckets in these
regions. You can use COS to store your data in multiple regions. In general, you are advised to create buckets in the
region closest to the location where your business is conducted. In this way, latency and costs can be reduced and
compliance requirements can be met.
For example, if your business is distributed in South China, creating buckets in the Guangzhou region can accelerate
the object upload and download speeds.
Default endpoint refers to the COS bucket’s default domain, which is automatically generated when the bucket is
created. Buckets residing in different regions have different default domains. To view the default domain, you can go to
the COS console, click the name of the desired bucket, click Overview, and find the Domain Information area.

Note:
If you have set the access permission of your image to public read and private write, you can copy the image
access URL and paste it in the browser to view the image details.
Private Network and Public Network Access
If an intra-region Cloud Virtual Machine (CVM) instance accesses COS using the default domain, data will be
transferred over a private network by default. In this case, data uploads and downloads will generate private network
traffic, but this traffic will not be billed. However, note that you will still be charged for the number of requests.
Tencent Cloud COS adopts intelligent resolution for COS endpoints. In this way, the optimal linkage can be provided
for you to access COS with different ISPs.
If you deploy a service in Tencent Cloud to access COS, intra-region access requests will be automatically directed to
a private network address. Currently, cross-region requests do not support private network access and will be
resolved to a public network address by default. If you have requests for cross-region private network access, submit
a ticket.
For more information about private network and public network access, see Request Creation Overview.

Multipart upload: A single object can be up to 48.82 TB. The part size can be 1 MB–5 GB, but the last part can be smaller than 1 MB. There can be 1– 10,000 parts. For more information, see Multipart Upload.
Currently, for a bucket with MAZ configuration enabled, objects can be uploaded to MAZ storage classes (MAZ_STANDARD or MAZ_STANDARD_IA). If intelligent tiering configuration is also enabled for the bucket, objects can also be uploaded to the MAZ_INTELLIGENT TIERING storage class.
You can only upload objects to the INTELLIGENT TIERING storage class if you have enabled INTELLIGENT TIERING for the bucket. How objects are transitioned between tiers depends on the INTELLIGENT TIERING configuration.
Replication
Objects can be replicated within and across regions under the same account.
