Importing your data inventory

The Import feature allows you to easily import your inventory of servers, applications, and waves from a CSV file that is saved in your local disk or an S3 bucket.

Define required permissions for importing

In order to use the import feature, you will need to create a role with the following policies (or any extension of them):

Managed policies:

Additional policies:

{
  "Sid":  "AllowS3Access",
   "Effect":  "Allow",
   "Action": [
     "s3:GetObject"
  ],
   "Resource":  "arn:aws:s3:::amzn-s3-demo-bucket/*"
}

When starting an import on an Amazon S3 bucket source that is owned by another account, ensure that the role or user has access to the Amazon S3 objects. When using the API, the Amazon S3 bucket owner parameter defaults to the current user’s account ID.

The following is an example of an S3 bucket policy in the target account:

{
  "Version":"2012-10-17",
   "Statement": [
    {
       "Sid":  "ExampleStatement",
       "Effect":  "Allow",
       "Principal": {
         "AWS":  "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:user/Dave"
      },
       "Action": [
         "s3:GetObject"
      ],
       "Resource":  "arn:aws:s3:::amzn-s3-demo-bucket/*"
    }
  ]
}
