Add an Amazon S3 bucket

Focus mode
Add an Amazon S3 bucket - Research and Engineering Studio
To add an S3 bucket to your RES environment:
  1. Choose Add bucket.

  2. Enter the bucket details such as bucket name, ARN, and mount point.

    Important
    • The bucket ARN, mount point, and mode provided cannot be changed after creation.

    • The bucket ARN can contain a prefix which will isolate the onboarded S3 bucket to that prefix.

  3. Select a mode in which to onboard your bucket.

    Important
    • See Data Isolation for more information related to data isolation with specific modes.

  4. Under Advanced Options, you may provide an IAM role ARN to mount the buckets for cross account access. Follow the steps in Cross account bucket access to create the required IAM role for cross account access.

  5. (Optional) Associate the bucket with projects, which can be changed later. However, an S3 bucket cannot be mounted to a project's existing VDI sessions. Only sessions launched after the project has been associated with the bucket will mount the bucket.

  6. Choose Submit.
