Indexing

​
Step 1: Provide AWS credentials

You can provide:
  • AWS Access Key ID
  • AWS Secret Access Key
  • Optionally, a Profile Name (used if no access key is set)
If none are provided, the connector will try using the default AWS credentials on the environment.

​
Step 2: Specify your S3 bucket

  • Click Connect to begin indexing
✅ You can add more buckets using the same credentials

Understanding S3 Structure

Amazon S3 organizes data into buckets, each containing unlimited objects (files).
Think of a bucket as a root directory and each object as a file within it. For more details, visit the Amazon S3 documentation.
