# Connection S3

# Purpose

Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is an object storage service that offers industry-leading scalability, data availability, security, and performance. Next to Amazon's S3 there are now various object storage providers which grant S3 compatible access to their storage solutions as well (e.g. Google Cloud Storage, IONOS, et al).

This UI helps to define the connection parameters for a S3 compatible storage endpoint.

# Authentication Mode

Authentication Mode (Connection S3)

Select the mode of authentication accepted by the endpoint. Choice of:

  • No credentials required: Pick this for access to an S3 store which does not require authentication.

  • Use the default credential provider chain (AWS only): To avoid using clear text credentials in S3 connector, customers can enable "Default AWS Credentials Provider Chain" and use Role in S3 connector. Please check Working with AWS Credentials (opens new window) to learn more about this type of authentication.

  • Access key / Secret key credentials: Pick this for an Access and Secret Key driven authentication. This requires the provision of an Access Key and a Secret as described below.

# Region

Use this setting if your S3 Server requires region information. You can find standard Amazon Web Services (AWS) regions in the drop-down list. If your S3 endpoint does not require a region, simply ignore the entry or leave empty.

# S3 Endpoint URL

If you are connecting to an AWS S3 endpoint, you can ignore this field. Otherwise, you need to enter the endpoint URL here.

# Access Key and Secret

If you have selected Access key / Secret key credentials as the Authentication Mode above, then you will have to enter the Access Key and Secrete here respectively. Both are made available to you by the S3 endpoint provider.

Access Key and Secret - manual entry (Connection S3)

  • Access Key: Enter the Access Key you want to use to access this S3 endpoint.

  • Secret Key: Enter the Secret Key for the Access Key.

  • Use Secret: Check this box, if you have a configured a secret and want to reference this here instead of entering the Secret directly. The Secret field will be replaced by a drop-down list which contains all previously configured Secrets. Pick one of the Secrets in the list.
