Amazon S3 Connector Overview
You can use Amazon S3 Connector to connect Informatica Cloud and Amazon S3.
Amazon S3 is a cloud-based store that stores many objects in one or more buckets. You can also connect to Amazon S3 buckets available in Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) through VPC endpoints.
You can read from or write to multiple Amazon S3 sources and targets. Use Amazon S3 Connector to read delimited file data from and write delimited file data to Amazon S3. You can upload or download a large object as a set of multiple independent parts.
Create an Amazon S3 connection to specify the location of Amazon S3 sources and targets you want to include in a task. You can use the Amazon S3 connection in Data Synchronization tasks, mappings, and Mapping Configuration tasks. Create a Data Synchronization task to synchronize data between a source and target. Create a Mapping Configuration task to process data based on the data flow logic defined in a mapping or integration template.
Example
You are a medical data analyst in a medical and pharmaceutical organization who maintains patient records. A patient record can contain patient details, doctor details, treatment history, and insurance from multiple data sources.
You use Amazon S3 Connector to collate and organize the patient details from multiple input sources in Amazon S3 buckets.
