How many compartments can an OCI object storage bucket be associated with?

An OCI object storage bucket can be associated with only one compartment. Each bucket is a distinct entity that exists within a specific compartment, encapsulating the resources and access policies relevant to its data. Compartments in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure serve as logical separations for organizing and managing cloud resources, and each resource, including object storage buckets, is confined to a single compartment. This structure helps enhance security and access control, as permissions can be set at the compartment level for all resources contained within it.

Understanding this compartmentalization is crucial for effectively managing resources, ensuring that appropriate policies are applied, and optimizing resource organization based on projects or teams within an organization.
