Hi,  
I am looking at ways to store the Snaphot taken using the default Snapshot API in Elasticsearch. There are repositories available where we can store these snapshots.

In the below link it is mentioned that Snapshots are available for AWS, Azure, Google cloud.  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.7/modules-snapshots.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.7/modules-snapshots.html)

I am looking for repository plugin for IBM Cloud Object Storage. Can you please provide inputs on this ?

Thanks

There is no official plugin for IBM Cloud Object Storage and I don't know of a community plugin either. IBM COS has an "S3-compatible" API so you might be able to use `repository-s3`, although I've no idea if it's compatible enough to work.
