For a successful Object Storage copy operation, which two steps must be executed?

For a successful Object Storage copy operation, authorizing the Object Storage service to manage objects is crucial. This step ensures that the necessary permissions and access controls are in place for the service to read from the source and write to the destination. Authorization typically involves setting up the correct identity and access management (IAM) policies that govern who can perform actions on objects within the storage service.

Without proper authorization, any request to copy objects could fail due to lack of permissions, leading to an unsuccessful operation. Therefore, establishing the correct authorization sets a foundation for secure and successful data handling in Object Storage.

While providing a unique object name and choosing an overwrite rule are essential steps in the copying process, they depend on the authorization step being successfully completed first. Without authorization, even if the object name is unique or an overwrite rule is chosen, the operation cannot proceed, as the service would not have the rights to access the objects involved in the operation. Designing a network topology, while important for overall architecture, does not directly pertain to the specific steps required for an effective Object Storage copy operation.
