Connect to Amazon S3

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 afterwards, for example, if you want to use another Jobserver than the one you originally selected.

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 registered an Amazon S3 file system.
  • You have configured one or more Jobservers in Collibra Console. If there is no available Jobserver, the Register data source actions will be grayed out in the global create menu of Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud.
  • 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. Enter the required information.
