Introduction

Vultr has partnered with Backblaze to provide easy-to-use Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) with free data transfer between Backblaze and Vultr. Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage allows businesses, developers, IT professionals, and individuals to build applications, host content, manage media, backup and archive data, and more.

The Backblaze S3 Compatible API enables custom and off-the-shelf S3 client applications and tools running on Vultr's infrastructure to store and manage data in Backblaze B2 buckets and objects. As well as basic bucket and object operations, S3 clients can access advanced Backblaze B2 features such as object locking and legal holds, allowing applications to meet compliance requirements and reduce cybersecurity risk.
