Amazon AWS S3 is cloud-based object storage service which allows it's customers to security store data, and is a highly scalable and secure cloud-based object storage service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It allows individuals and organizations to store and retrieve vast amounts of data over the internet.

With the Amazon AWS S3 connector, Toric users can:

• Support existing data services and processes with push and pull workflows into existing BI tooling or data lakes and warehouses.
• Create automations to streamline importing data from S3 to keep data in flows and visualizations up to date.
• Seamlessly export transformed data back into S3.

Configuration guide

Setup time: 3 minutes

Requirements:

• Amazon AWS subscription
• Web browser (Safari, Chrome, Edge, Firefox)

1. Create an S3 Bucket

Before jumping into Toric, you must set up a few things in Amazon Web Services (AWS).

1.1 Create an AWS Account

First, you must create an Amazon account using Amazon Web Services (AWS). Log in or create an account with AWS Management Console. After you're done creating your account, come back to this article and follow step 1.2.

1.2 Create an S3 bucket

Once your account is created, you will need to create an S3 storage bucket. For a step-by-step guide, please follow Step 1: Create your first S3 bucket. After creating an S3 bucket, come back and follow step 1.3.

1.3 Create a User

Let's create a new user with the Identity and Access management (IAM) service. Once your user is created, you can generate a new Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.

Enter a name and check the box for Access key. Then click the Next button for steps 1 to 5.

Note: Please save your Secret Access Key ID as this is generated only once at user creation. We recommend using a tool like 1Password to store your passwords and credentials.

1.4 Create a User

Finally, create a new permission policy to assign your new user to the Identity and Access management (IAM) service. Once your user is created, you can generate a new Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.

2. Configure S3 in Toric

Login to Toric and follow these steps to setup an S3 Connector:

2.1 Enter a Configuration Name

Type a unique name for your S3 connector.

Note: It's best practice to give your configuration the same name as your S3 bucket.

2.2 Enter S3 Bucket

Paste the name of your S3 bucket.

2.3 Enter S3 Region

Paste the server region of your S3 bucket.

2.4 Enter Access Key ID

Paste your S3 user Access Key.

2.5 Enter Secret Access Key ID

Paste your S3 user Secret Access Key.

2.6 Validate your Configuration

Use the Validate Configuration button to make sure all fields are completed correctly. Invalid fields will be highlighted in red, and a successful validation will show in green.

Click on Add Configuration to finalize the creation of your Azure Blob Storage connector.

3. Export Data to S3

Open a Dataflow, add the S3 Export node, and select your configuration.

Note: Remember, your Bucket name and Configuration name should be the same.

Once the export is completed you should find your new data in AWS S3.

Integration Capabilities Supported by the Connector
