AWS S3 Data Sources

AWS S3 data sources can be used to access S3 buckets. It is necessary to create this type of data source to export documents to the cloud from some exporters.

When creating an AWS S3 data source, the following parameters must be specified:

  • Default bucket. Default bucket for storing files with relative paths. However, for files referenced with absolute paths, alternative buckets can be specified.

  • Authentication. There are two ways to configure the AWS credentials.

    • AWS IAM credentials: specify the AWS access key ID and the AWS secret access key.

    • Denodo AWS instance credentials: automatically obtains the credentials of the database from the AWS instance where this Scheduler server is running.

Note

Optionally, both AWS IAM credentials and Denodo AWS instance credentials allow to enter the AWS IAM role ARN. The AWS user will assume the role to get the necessary privileges to connect to the bucket. The role ARN is the Amazon Resource Name of the IAM role you want to assume. Specify the role ARN like arn:aws:iam::<awsAccountId>:role/<roleName>.

  • Custom properties. Set the same properties that you would put in the Hadoop configuration files like core-site.xml to configure the S3A Hadoop connector.
