Connect to Amazon S3 via Edge

To retrieve data from Amazon S3, you have to connect via an S3 File System asset. You always have to do that after registering a new Amazon S3 File System. You can also edit the settings, for example, if you want to use another capability than the one you originally selected or if you want to switch to Jobserver.

Prerequisites

• You have a resource role with the Configure external system resource permission, for example Owner.
• You have a global role with the Catalog global permission, for example Catalog Author.
• You have an Edge capability with the S3 synchronization capability template.
• You have registered an Amazon S3 file system.
• You have a global role with the View Edge connections and capabilities global permission.
• You have a programmatic AWS user and IAM role with the required permissions.

Steps

1. Open an S3 File System asset page.
2. In the tab pane, click Configuration.
3. In the Connection details section, click Edit connection details.
4. In the right corner, select Edge.
5. Select an Edge capability.
6. Click Save.
