Moving an Object Storage Bucket Between Compartments

• Console
• CLI
• API

• 1. On the Buckets list page, select the Object Storage bucket that you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page or the Object Storage bucket, see Listing Buckets.
  2. From the Actions menu for the bucket, select Move resource.
  3. In the Move resource panel, select the destination compartment from the list.
  4. Select Move resource.

  The bucket now resides in the updated compartment.

• Use the oci os bucket update command and required parameters to move the bucket to a different compartment:

  oci os bucket update --name bucket_name --compartment-id destination_compartment_ocid [OPTIONS]

  where destination_compartment_ocid is the compartment OCID associated with the destination compartment for the bucket you're moving.

  For example:

  oci os bucket update --name MyBucket --compartment-id ocid.compartment.oc1..exampleuniqueID

  For a complete list of parameters and values for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.

• Run the GetBucket operation with the compartmentID of the destination compartment to move a bucket to a different compartment.

  When accessing the Object Storage API, the bucket name is used with the Object Storage namespace name to form the request URL:

  n/object_storage_namespace/b/bucket
