Lab overview
In this lab, you learn how to use the IBM SoftLayer Object Storage Services in IBM Bluemix as a cloud-based permanent storage repository that is accessible through a REST API.
You’ll learn how to get the credentials required to access your Object Storage Service instance via its REST API and use the Postman Chrome application to authenticate against your Object Storage service instance.
Lastly, you’ll do some typical Swift API operations by using the Postman Chrome application.
Prerequisites
- IBM Bluemix account or a developerWorks Premium subscription
- An IBM Bluemix supported web browser, such as Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, or Chrome
- Postman (for testing the Swift API in the Object Storage service)
