Amazon S3 Setup Guide

  1. Create an AWS Account: 

    If you don't already have an AWS account, go to https://aws.amazon.com and click on 'Create an AWS Account'. Follow the prompts to set up your account.

  2. Create an S3 Bucket: 

    After logging into your AWS account, navigate to the S3 service. Click on 'Create Bucket'. Assign a unique name to your bucket and choose a region that suits your needs. Click on 'Create' at the bottom of the page.

  3. Set Bucket Permissions: 

    In the bucket properties, navigate to the 'Permissions' tab. 

  4. Create an IAM User: 

    Navigate to the IAM (Identity and Access Management) service. Create a new user with programmatic access. Attach policies that grant this user the necessary permissions to read and write data to your S3 bucket.

  5. Get Access Keys: 

    After creating the user, you will be provided with an Access Key ID and a Secret Access Key. Store these keys securely. 

    These keys will be used for configuring the “Remote Backup/Restore” option in EdgeManager when the TrendMiner installation has been upgraded to 2024.R2.0.

  6. Upload and Download Files: 

    You can now upload and download files to and from your S3 bucket using the AWS CLI, SDKs, or S3 APIs. Use the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key for authentication.
