Security Considerations

• Credentials: Store your Tencent Cloud credentials securely and never share them
• Permissions: Use the principle of least privilege - grant only necessary COS permissions
• Region: Ensure you're using the correct Tencent Cloud region for your buckets
• Encryption: Consider using COS server-side encryption for sensitive data

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

   • Verify that SecretId and SecretKey are correctly configured

   • Verify the bucket policy allows access from your CAM user

3. "Bucket not found" error:

   • Check that the bucket name is correct
   • Ensure the bucket exists in the specified region

4. Region connectivity issues:

   • Verify the region name is correct (e.g., )
