Objects Browser | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content

 

The Objects browser is a User Interface (UI) that allows the users to directly launch the object store instance in a web browser and perform bucket and object level operations. This eliminates the steps of logging into Prism Central and launching the Objects service.

 

The administrators use Prism Central to manage the object stores. When an administrator creates an object store, a default bucket (object browser) gets created. The static website hosting capability is already enabled on this default bucket. The Objects Browser UI is hosted on this default bucket is created

The administrator can share the object store URL with the user to access the Objects Browser UI. The URL can be formed using the Objects Public IP address
