Data Profiling

Amazon S3

Amazon S3

To access an Amazon S3 source object, you need to create a Amazon S3 v2 connection to the source object.
Configure the following Amazon S3 v2 connection properties to create and run a data profiling task on a Amazon S3 source object:
Property
Value
Runtime Environment
Name of the runtime environment where you want to run the tasks.
Specify a Secure Agent or serverless runtime environment.
Access Key
Access key to access the Amazon S3 bucket.
Secret Key
Secret key to access the Amazon S3 bucket. The secret key is associated with the access key and uniquely identifies the account.
Folder Path
Bucket name or complete folder path to the Amazon S3 objects. Do not use a slash at the end of the folder path. For example,
<bucket name>/<my folder name>
.
Region Name
The AWS region of the bucket that you want to access.
Select one of the following regions:
  • Africa(Cape Town)
  • Asia Pacific(Mumbai)
  • Asis Pacific(Jakarta)
  • Asia Pacific (Osaka)
  • Asia Pacific(Seoul)
  • Asia Pacific(Singapore)
  • Asia Pacific(Sydney)
  • Asia Pacific(Tokyo)
  • Asia Pacific(Hong Kong)
  • AWS GovCloud(US)
  • AWS GovCloud(US-East)
  • Canada(Central)
  • China(Bejing)
  • China(Ningxia)
  • EU(Ireland)
  • EU(Frankfurt)
  • EU(London)
  • EU(Milan)
  • EU(Paris)
  • EU(Stockholm)
  • South America(Sao Paulo)
  • Middle East(Bahrain)
  • Middle East(UAE)
  • US East(N. Virginia)
  • US East(Ohio)
  • US ISO East
  • US ISOB East(Ohio)
  • US ISO West
  • US West(N. California)
  • US West(Oregon)
Default is US East(N. Virginia).
IAM Role ARN
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role assumed by the user to use the dynamically generated temporary security credentials.
Enter the ARN value if you want to use the temporary security credentials to access AWS resources.
This property is not applicable to an application ingestion and replication task.
Even if you remove the IAM role that grants the agent access to the Amazon S3 bucket, the test connection is successful.
For more information about how to get the ARN of the IAM role, see the AWS documentation.
External ID
The external ID of your AWS account.
External ID provides a more secure access to the Amazon S3 bucket when the Amazon S3 bucket is in a different AWS account.
Use EC2 Role to Assume Role
Enables the EC2 role to assume another IAM role specified in the IAM Role ARN option.
This property is required only if you use the IAM role authentication mechanism on an advanced cluster.
The EC2 role must have a policy attached with permissions to assume an IAM role from the same or a different account.
Before you configure IAM role authentication on an advanced cluster, perform the following tasks:
  • Create the cluster operator role and the cluster operator policy
  • Configure the trust relationship
  • Attach the IAM role to the EC2 instance
  • Configure the Elastic Server
For information on how to set up an advanced cluster on AWS, see
Advanced Clusters
in the Administrator documentation.
