Exercise 2: Create an Amazon S3 Connection

You can use Data Cloud to seamlessly unify data from various enterprise systems. As an example, Coral Cloud Resorts stores guest and reservation data in Amazon S3. To ingest data from Amazon S3, you first need to create an Amazon S3 connection.

To create an Amazon S3 connection:

1. Open the Setup menu and select Data Cloud Setup.

   

2. In the left sidebar, click Other Connectors.

3. Click New.

4. Select Amazon S3 and click Next.

   

5. Configure your Amazon S3 connection as follows:

   Field	Value
   Connection Name	Coral Cloud Resorts S3 Connection
   Connection API Name	Keep default
   Authentication Option	Access Key/Secret Based (default)
   AWS access key	AKIA47CRZ7L5P7VBV3LD
   AWS secret access key	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
   Bucket Name	coral-cloud
   Parent Directory	Keep default value: /

6. Click Test Connection to validate the connection.

   

7. Click Save.

Summary

In this exercise, you created a connection to an Amazon S3 bucket. You can now use that connection to create data streams that ingest data stored in Amazon S3.
