Manage the S3 access points for a volume in NetApp Workload Factory. You can use the Workload Factory console to assign S3 access points to existing volumes, view details for your S3 buckets, make changes to existing access points, or delete S3 access points.
Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP supports S3 data access to NFS and SMB file systems, enabling their integration with dozens of S3-based AWS services such as Amazon Bedrock, SageMaker, Athena, AWS Glue, and more. You can connect AWS services to all of your object storage data.
By attaching S3 access points to NFS and SMB volumes in an FSx for ONTAP file system, files stored in these volumes can be accessed by any AWS services as if they were in an S3 bucket. When attaching the access point, you define its unique id, specify the file access type (UNIX or Windows) and add a username for authorizing file access requests by the access point.
After the S3 access point is attached, it appears in the AWS Management Console and has a unique access point alias. This alias is used as the S3 bucket name provided to the AWS services to which you want to connect. For example, you can provide the alias to an Amazon Bedrock knowledge base, and it will then use the files in the FSx for ONTAP volume to provide contextual answers to queries.
You can attach multiple S3 access points to a single FSx for ONTAP volume, each with its own unique access level, allowing you to connect to as many AWS services as required.
Ensure that you meet the following requirements:
-
You must have an existing volume with an S3 access point.
-
You must grant credentials with the operations and remediation permission policy in Workload Factory to complete this task.
