Restrict AWS regions

You can restrict the AWS regions to which Collibra Data Catalog can connect.

Note When there is no restriction, the S3 integration will make requests to all possible AWS regions, which could result in long synchronization times.

Depending on your environment, follow this procedure either on the Services Configuration tab of the Collibra settings or in Collibra Console:

Important You can't edit the Services Configuration from the Settings page in the latest UI. If you use the latest UI, you can configure settings only in Collibra Console. For more information, go to DGC service configuration settings.

    Description

    AWS regions restriction

    A list of AWS regions Data Catalog is allowed to connect to. For example, eu-west-3 and us-east-2. For a list of all AWS locations, see the AWS documentation.

    • If you want to allow Collibra to make a connection to any AWS region, leave the field empty.
    • If you remove a region from this list and the region was previously used for an S3 integration, you may want to delete the Glue database from the previously used region manually. By default, Collibra does not remove it. The Glue database has the following naming convention: collibra_catalog_<Asset Id>_<Domain Id>
      For example: collibra_catalog_d3174a88-5ffe-4d50-8fbe-7bf0832ec3af_5d198ce9-4e56-4d0e-a885-58204da50741
    • When using Edge, a warning is added to the logs if an invalid region is detected in the restricted regions list.
  4. Click Save all.
