This operator guide is divided into sections:

Manta is an internet-facing object store. The user interface to Manta is essentially:

• A separate filesystem-like namespace Directory API, with directories and objects, accessible over HTTP.
• A Buckets API (an experimental feature similar to S3) with objects, accessible over HTTP.
• Objects are arbitrary-size blobs of data
• Users can use standard HTTP PUT/GET/DELETE verbs to create, list, and remove buckets, directories, and objects.
• Users can fetch arbitrary ranges of an object, but may not modify an object except by replacing it.

Users can interact with Manta through the official Node.js CLI; the Node, or Java SDKs; curl(1); or any web browser. For more information, see the Manta user guide.
