Connect Amazon S3

Connect an Amazon S3 bucket you own so Greenpixie can read your input data and write the enriched file to output.

Create a bucket

Create or select an existing Amazon S3 bucket to use for input and output data. See the AWS guide to creating a bucket.

Bucket name

Your bucket name should include your company or team name.

For example, abc-corp-cur-data.

Bucket settings

Apply the following so that IAM controls access, with ACLs and public access disabled:

• ACLs disabled
• Block all public access

See blocking public access to your S3 buckets.

Grant Greenpixie access

In the Greenpixie environment there is a dedicated IAM user for each data connection, and you grant this principal read and write access on your bucket through a bucket policy.

Your Greenpixie contact provides the role-arn. bucket-name is the name of the bucket you created. Add the policy to your bucket, following the AWS guide to adding a bucket policy.
