Registering an S3 Bucket

If you have access to an S3 bucket, you can register it as a Tapis system to allow Tapis to manage files and folders on the bucket.

s3_system = {
  "id":"<userid>.<bucket_name>",
  "description":"My Bucket",
  "host":"<url_to_bucket>",
  "systemType":"S3",
  "defaultAuthnMethod":"ACCESS_KEY",
  "effectiveUserId":"${owner}",
  "bucketName":"<bucket_name>",
  "rootDir":"/",
  "canExec": False
}

Replace the following in the above:

• <userid>-<bucket_name> - A unique id for this system. As indicated, we recommend using a combination of your username and the bucket name.
• <url_to_bucket> - The root URL to the bucket in AWS (e.g., “https://tapis-sample-test-.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/")
• <bucket_name> - The name of the actual bucket (e.g., “tapis-test-bucket”)
