+===========
+Compression
+===========
+
+.. versionadded:: Kraken
+
+The Ceph Object Gateway supports server-side compression of uploaded objects,
+using any of Ceph's existing compression plugins.
+
+.. note:: The Reef release added a :ref:`feature_compress_encrypted` zonegroup
+ feature to enable compression with `Server-Side Encryption`_.
+
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+Compression can be enabled on a storage class in the Zone's placement target
+by providing the ``--compression=<type>`` option to the command
+``radosgw-admin zone placement modify``.
+
+The compression ``type`` refers to the name of the compression plugin to use
+when writing new object data. Each compressed object remembers which plugin
+was used, so changing this setting does not hinder the ability to decompress
+existing objects, nor does it force existing objects to be recompressed.
+
+This compression setting applies to all new objects uploaded to buckets using
+this placement target. Compression can be disabled by setting the ``type`` to
+an empty string or ``none``.
+
+For example::
+
+ $ radosgw-admin zone placement modify \
+ --rgw-zone default \
+ --placement-id default-placement \
+ --storage-class STANDARD \
+ --compression zlib
+ {
+ ...
+ "placement_pools": [
+ {
+ "key": "default-placement",
+ "val": {
+ "index_pool": "default.rgw.buckets.index",
+ "storage_classes": {
+ "STANDARD": {
+ "data_pool": "default.rgw.buckets.data",
+ "compression_type": "zlib"
+ }
+ },
+ "data_extra_pool": "default.rgw.buckets.non-ec",
+ "index_type": 0,
+ }
+ }
+ ],
+ ...
+ }
+
+.. note:: A ``default`` zone is created for you if you have not done any
+ previous `Multisite Configuration`_.
+
+
+Statistics
+==========
+
+While all existing commands and APIs continue to report object and bucket
+sizes based their uncompressed data, compression statistics for a given bucket
+are included in its ``bucket stats``::
+
+ $ radosgw-admin bucket stats --bucket=<name>
+ {
+ ...
+ "usage": {
+ "rgw.main": {
+ "size": 1075028,
+ "size_actual": 1331200,
+ "size_utilized": 592035,
+ "size_kb": 1050,
+ "size_kb_actual": 1300,
+ "size_kb_utilized": 579,
+ "num_objects": 104
+ }
+ },
+ ...
+ }
+
+The ``size_utilized`` and ``size_kb_utilized`` fields represent the total
+size of compressed data, in bytes and kilobytes respectively.
