Creating a Cloud Sync data broker
Contributors
NetApp Cloud Sync is integrated with NetApp Cloud Volumes Service for AWS to enable fast data syncing over NFS to or from a cloud volume. A Cloud Sync data broker enables you to create a Cloud Sync relationship for syncing data.
If you already have a Cloud Sync data broker in the same AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) that you use for your Cloud Volumes account, you can skip this task.
-
Go to the Sync page or the Sync tab for a volume on the Volumes page.
-
Create a data broker by clicking Create data broker.
-
Provide information for the following fields:
-
Name
Provide a name for the data broker.

Select AWS.
-
Region
Select an available region.
-
API key
Provide the access key for your AWS account.
-

Click Create data broker to start the data broker creation process.
It takes a few minutes to create a data broker.
