You possibly can create and connect an S3 Entry Level to your FSx for ONTAP file system utilizing the Amazon FSx console, the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or the AWS SDK.
I’ve an current FSx for ONTAP file system demo-create-s3access which I created by following the steps within the Creating file techniques within the FSx for ONTAP documentation. Utilizing the Amazon FSx console I now select the file system ID fs-0c45b011a7f071d70 to entry the total particulars of the file system.
I’ll connect the entry level to the quantity of the file system. I select the quantity vol1 after which choose Create S3 Entry Level from the Actions dropdown menu.
I enter particulars such because the entry level identify, the kind of file system consumer id and the community configuration, then select Create s3 Entry Level to finalize the method.
After it’s created, the entry level my-s3-accesspoint is able to permit entry to the file knowledge saved in my file system demo-create-s3access from Amazon S3. Amazon Entry Factors are S3 endpoints that may be hooked up to Amazon FSx volumes and used to carry out Amazon S3 object operations.
I can now convey proprietary knowledge saved within the file system demo-create-s3access to Amazon S3 to be used in purposes that work with Amazon S3 whereas my file knowledge continues to reside within the FSx for NetApp ONTAP file system utilizing the entry level my-s3-accesspoint (this knowledge stays accessible by the file protocols).
For the walkthrough on this submit, I’ll combine with Fast Suite.
Integrating a long time of enterprise file knowledge with the newest AI powered BI instruments on AWS
Within the Fast Suite Console, within the left navigation pane, I select Connections, then choose Integrations. Earlier than you start, just be sure you have the right permissions to the Amazon S3 AWS useful resource. You possibly can management the AWS sources that Fast Suite can entry by following the Amazon Fast Suite consumer information.
After I’ve chosen the Amazon S3 integration I enter my Amazon S3 Entry Level alias because the S3 bucket URL, go away the remainder of the data as default, then select Create and proceed.
I finalize the method by offering the Identify of the data base, the Description, then select Create.
After the data base has been created it’s mechanically synchronized, it’s now accessible for interplay.
I wish to study extra in regards to the AWS European Sovereign Cloud so I’ve up to date the file system (accessed by the S3 Entry Level my-s3-accesspoin-iyytkgz83djdjj7abn3u711supfgkuse1b-ext-s3alias) with the AWS whitepaper on this matter. Within the chat in Amazon Fast Suite. I begin asking the primary query “do we’ve any documentation on the europe sovereignty cloud?“. To reply my query, the chat agent accesses and analyzes varied varieties of knowledge sources I’ve permission to make use of, together with uploaded information in my present dialog, areas I’ve entry to, data bases from my integrations, and extra.
After I confirm the supply, I see that the doc I uploaded to my file system is listed as one of many sources.
