Context

In [1] we conducted an investigation to understand how different s3 providers (AWS, MinIO and OpenShift ODF) supported addressing buckets using virtual-style-host (VSH). Despite some of them still not supporting VSH in an easy accessible way once enabled Loki was always able to communicate with the s3 backend both through path-style-host (PSH) or VSH, this however required manual configuration as loki-operator enforces VSH always for AWS endpoints and then forces all other s3 endpoints to use PSH. Furthermore, we have also gotten requests from customers where their s3 provider only supports VSH but loki-operator doesn't allow for them to configure VSH.

Acceptance Criteria

• Give users the ability to configure virtual-style-host (VSH) for s3 endpoints.
