amazonConnect to Amazon S3

Clicking Amazon S3 opens the "Add a connection" dialog with the following fields.

Connection Name: A user-defined display name for this connection.

Description: A brief text description of what this connection is used for.

Bucket: The name of the Amazon S3 bucket you want Tellius to connect to. Enter only the bucket name (for example, "my-analytics-bucket"), not the full ARN or URL. The IAM credentials you provide must have read access to this bucket.

Region Name: The AWS region where the S3 bucket is located. Enter the region code in standard AWS format (for example: "us-east-1", "eu-west-2"). The region must match the bucket's actual region.

AWS Access Key ID: The access key ID for the IAM user or role that Tellius will use to authenticate with AWS. This is part of the AWS programmatic access credentials. The IAM entity associated with this key must have at minimum s3:GetObject and s3:ListBucket permissions on the specified bucket. This field is masked after entry.

AWS Secret Access Key: The secret access key that corresponds to the AWS Access Key ID above. Together, these two values form the complete IAM credential pair. This field is masked after entry.

Scheduled Sync: Configures how frequently Tellius automatically syncs files from this S3 bucket.

  • Manual - Tellius will only sync when you explicitly trigger it using the Synchronize action from the three-dot menu on the connections table.

  • Schedule - Set automatic recurring syncs so that new files added to the S3 bucket are automatically pulled into Tellius without manual intervention. A second dropdown appears: Cron Schedule (UTC).

The Cron Schedule dropdown lets you define how frequently Tellius automatically syncs files from the connected source. All schedule times operate in UTC, so factor in your local timezone when choosing a schedule. The available options are:

  • Hourly

  • Every 6 hours

  • Daily at midnight

  • Daily at 2 AM

  • Every 12 hours

Choose a schedule frequency that matches how often new content arrives in your source. Over-frequent syncing on a source that rarely changes adds unnecessary processing load, while under-frequent syncing on an active source means Kaiya may not have access to the latest files.

Click Continue to proceed with creating the connection, or Cancel to discard the configuration.
