Add Linode Object Storage Account

Add a Linode (Akamai) Object Storage account to PlaidCloud for importing and exporting data files using Linode's S3-compatible cloud storage.

Linode Object Storage Setup

These steps need to be completed within the Linode Cloud Manager.

  1. Sign in to the Linode Cloud Manager
  2. Navigate to Object Storage in the left sidebar
  3. Create a bucket if one does not already exist. Note the bucket name (called label) and region (e.g. us-east-1).
  4. Navigate to Object Storage > Access Keys
  5. Select Create Access Key
  6. Give the key a label and select the bucket(s) it should have access to with read/write permissions
  7. Select Create Access Key
  8. Copy the Access Key and Secret Key. Save both for the PlaidCloud Document setup below. The secret is only shown once.
  9. Note the endpoint URL for your bucket's region. It follows the pattern https://{region}.linodeobjects.com (e.g. https://us-east-1.linodeobjects.com)

You should now have everything you need to add your Linode Object Storage account to PlaidCloud Document.
