Requirements for S3

You can connect to Amazon S3 by creating an IAM policy for permissions.

To connect with Amazon S3, you create one policy for uploading data from Amazon S3, and a different policy for publishing data to Amazon S3. These IAM policies include the minimum permissions that must be allowed for connecting to S3.

After creating the policies, you can add the Amazon S3 connection in Tamr Cloud.
