Amazon S3 Connections Overview
Amazon S3 connections enable you to read data from or write data to Amazon S3. You can use Amazon S3 connections to specify sources and targets in Data Synchronization tasks, mappings, and Mapping Configuration tasks.
If you configure the JVM options of the Secure Agent to include proxy server details, the Secure Agent connects to Amazon S3 using a proxy server
You can use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) authentication to securely control access to Amazon S3 resources. If you have valid AWS credentials and you want to use IAM authentication, you do not have to specify the access key and secret key when you create an Amazon S3 connection.
Create a connection and associate it with a Data Synchronization task, mapping, or Mapping Configuration task. Define the source and target properties to read data from or write data to Amazon S3.
You create an Amazon S3 connection on the Connections page. You can then use the connection in the Mapping Designer when you create a mapping or in the Data Synchronization Task wizard when you create a task.
