Install sdk and connect to Vast DB#

Install vastdb library.

!pip install --quiet vastdb

# Change these variables to reflect your environment, E.g. 
#
# ENDPOINT = 'http://your_vast_endpoint:12345'
# DATABASE_NAME = 'your_db'
# ACCESS_KEY = 'your_access_key'
# SECRET_KEY = 'your_secret_key'

Connect to Vast DB

import vastdb

session = vastdb.connect(
    endpoint=ENDPOINT,
    access=ACCESS_KEY,
    secret=SECRET_KEY)

  • Note:

    • The name of each snapshot is the name of the bucket followed by the snapshot name, separated by a slash.
