Everpure FlashArray - Object Storage Lab

FlashArray's Unified Block and File platform just got a new capability.  After a non-disruptive upgrade into the 6.10.+, Purity//FA now natively supports and provides Object services along side the existing Block and File services making it even more of a truly Unified storage solution.  With just a few clicks, it's simple to enable and provision buckets for your object storage needs.

In this lab, you will explore the Object capabilities added to the Everpure FlashArray in 6.10+ of Purity//FA:
- base object configuration
- create object accounts, users, keys, buckets and policies
- use GUI and CLI based S3 tools to Create, Read, Update and Delete objects living on a FlashArray
