Amazon S3

Amazon S3 is AWS’s object storage solution for the cloud. Object storage is optimized for storing massive amounts of unstructured data. Unstructured data is data that doesn’t adhere to a particular data model or definition, such as text or binary data.

What is required

You will require the following in order to create a connection to AWS S3 Storage:

1. An AWS account containing the bucket data you wish to add to Publisher.
2. An Access Key ID and Secret Access Key to that account.
3. The region of the bucket that contains the data you wish to add.
