Creating an Amazon S3 data source

aws kendra create-data-source \
 --index-id index ID \
 --name example-data-source \
 --type S3 \
 --configuration '{"S3Configuration":{"BucketName":"bucket name"}}' 
 --role-arn 'arn:aws:iam::account id:role:/role name

The following snippet of Python code creates an Amazon S3 data source. For the complete example, see Getting started (AWS SDK for Python (Boto3)).

print("Create an Amazon S3 data source.")
    
    # Provide a name for the data source
    name = "getting-started-data-source"
    # Provide an optional description for the data source
    description = "Getting started data source."
    # Provide the IAM role ARN required for data sources
    role_arn = "arn:aws:iam::${accountID}:role/${roleName}"
    # Provide the data soource connection information
    s3_bucket_name = "S3-bucket-name"
    type = "S3"
    # Configure the data source
    configuration = {"S3DataSourceConfiguration":
        {
            "BucketName": s3_bucket_name
        }
    }

    data_source_response = kendra.create_data_source(
        Configuration = configuration,
        Name = name,
        Description = description,
        RoleArn = role_arn,
        Type = type,
        IndexId = index_id
    )

aws kendra describe-data-source \
 --index-id index ID \
 --id data source ID

The following snippet of Python code gets information about an S3 data source. For the complete example, see Getting started (AWS SDK for Python (Boto3)).

print("Wait for Amazon Kendra to create the data source.")

    while True:
        data_source_description = kendra.describe_data_source(
            Id = "data-source-id",
            IndexId = "index-id"
        )
        status = data_source_description["Status"]
        print(" Creating data source. Status: "+status)
        time.sleep(60)
        if status != "CREATING":
            break

aws kendra start-data-source-sync-job \
 --index-id index ID \
 --id data source ID

The following snippet of Python code synchronizes an Amazon S3 data source. For the complete example, see Getting started (AWS SDK for Python (Boto3)).

print("Synchronize the data source.")

    sync_response = kendra.start_data_source_sync_job(
        Id = "data-source-id",
        IndexId = "index-id"
    )
