Amazon S3

Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) is a scalable object storage service offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS).

It is a highly scalable, durable, secure, and cost-effective object storage service that enables businesses to store and retrieve any amount of data securely and reliably.

It is widely used by organizations of all sizes for a variety of use cases, including data storage, backup and archiving, content distribution, and big data analytics.

To interact with Amazon S3 API, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Set Up AWS Credentials:
    • Go to the AWS Management Console.
    • Navigate to the IAM (Identity and Access Management) Console.
    • On the IAM console, click on Users in the left sidebar to manage IAM users.
    • Click on the Add user button to create a new IAM user.
    • Enter a User name and click Next.
    • Set the permissions for the IAM user.
      • You can attach existing policies to the user or create custom policies based on your specific requirements.
      • For accessing Amazon S3, you'll need to attach policies that grant the necessary permissions to interact with S3 buckets and objects.
    • Review the user details and permissions, then click on the Create user button to create the IAM user.
  2. Get Access Key and Secret Key:
    • Once the IAM user is created, you'll be provided with an Access Key and a Secret Access Key. These will be used to create SimWorkflow credentials.
  3. Create AWS Credentials in SimWorkflow:
    1. Go to SimWorkflow Credentials.

    2. Click on Create credentials.
