Configure access to a source: S3-compatible storage
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
Transferring from S3-compatible sources requires an access key ID and
a secret access key. These are passed to the transfer agent creation
command.
The steps to obtain your access key ID and secret access key depend on your
storage provider.
When creating your ID and key, make sure the account being used has the
following minimum permissions:
Read-only permission on source objects, if you don't want to delete objects
at source.
Full access to source objects, if you choose to delete objects at source as
part of your transfer.
Transfers from S3-compatible sources require the installation of
transfer agents on VMs close to the data source. You can install agents in
Amazon EC2 or EKS within the same region as your
bucket. You can also run agents on Google Cloud in the nearest region.
Transfer agents belong to an agent pool. See
Manage agent pools to create an
agent pool and install agents into the pool.
