Cloud Connectors - AWS

To create and configure a cloud connector with AWS:

  1. Go to Connectors > Cloud > + New Cloud Connector.
  1. Enter a Name for the connector; for example, inS3.
  2. Enter a Description.
  3. In the Folder field, if for example you uploaded files to S3, you can set this to bring in or out only files from a designated folder.
  1. Click Next.
  2. Here we’ll select aws-S3 as the cloud service.
  1. Click Next.
  2. Select the Region where you are installing (for example, eu-west-1). The Region Name will populate based on that.
  3. Enter the Bucket name, based on the S3 bucket you created in AWS.

For the security access you have several options :

  1. access id and secret - you can get the access id and secret from aws and put it on the bellow fields
  2. use IAM roles - if you leave the accessid and secret empty - the dmax will use the IAM roles that is attached to the ec2 instance of the dmax
  3. assume role : you can assume a role from a different account to do so :
    1. configure the arn of the role you want to assume
    2. role session name = AWSCLI-Session (if you don't need nothing special)
    3. Role Duration Seconds = 3600 if not changed on aws

You can also configure vpc endpoints if needed to contact the s3. just configure the endpoint
