How to enable Bucket Logging or Bucket Versioning (post bucket creation) on Cloud Object Storage powered by Wasabi



TABLE OF CONTENTS

Important notes

  • Any time you enable versioning, you are essentially creating new versions of the objects you are storing. This will result in an increase in storage usage.
     
  • Bucket logging will be creating log files for all bucket activity. These log files also count towards your storage usage.

  • The following procedures are not necessary if the options were chosen when creating the buckets.
