# Define a Bucket Claim

A bucket claim (`BucketClaim`) creates a bucket.

A minimal example of a bucket claim would include the bucket name, bucket class, and protocol specification, for example:

```plaintext
kind: BucketClaim
apiVersion: objectstorage.k8s.io/v1alpha1
metadata:
  name: sample-bucket
spec:
  bucketClassName: vastdata-bucket
  protocols:
  - s3
```
