Amazon S3™
The Amazon S3™ North Connector allows you to store files in Amazon S3™ (Simple Storage Service). It is ideal for long-term storage, data lakes, or integration with AWS services.
Example Use Cases:
- Data Lake Integration: Store historical data for analytics or compliance.
- Backup and Archiving: Securely archive data from OIBus to Amazon S3.
- AWS Ecosystem Integration: Use stored data with AWS services like Athena, Redshift, or Glue.
Specific Settings
Configure the following parameters to connect to your Amazon S3 bucket:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Bucket | Name of the Amazon S3 bucket where files will be stored. |
| Region | AWS region where the bucket is located (e.g., eu-west-3). |
| Folder | Specific folder within the bucket where files should be stored. |
| Access key | Authentication key for connecting to the Amazon S3 bucket. |
| Secret key | Secret key associated with the access key. |
Proxy Configuration
If your OIBus instance requires a proxy to connect to Amazon S3, enable the Use proxy option and provide the following details:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Proxy URL | URL of the proxy server (e.g., http://proxy.example.com:8080). |
| Proxy username | Username for proxy authentication (if required). |
| Proxy password | Password for proxy authentication (if required). |
For more information on proxy configuration, see the Engine Settings - Proxy Server Configuration.
Best Practices
- IAM Permissions: Ensure the provided access key and secret key have the necessary permissions (e.g.,
s3:PutObject). - Monitoring: Monitor storage usage and costs in the AWS S3 console.
