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:

SettingDescription
BucketName of the Amazon S3 bucket where files will be stored.
RegionAWS region where the bucket is located (e.g., eu-west-3).
FolderSpecific folder within the bucket where files should be stored.
Access keyAuthentication key for connecting to the Amazon S3 bucket.
Secret keySecret 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:

SettingDescription
Proxy URLURL of the proxy server (e.g., http://proxy.example.com:8080).
Proxy usernameUsername for proxy authentication (if required).
Proxy passwordPassword 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.
