Data Explorer can read to and write to an Amazon S3
bucket.
In
Cloudera Data Warehouse, you can browse Amazon S3 buckets from
Data Explorer
in the following ways:
- With Ranger Authorization Service (RAZ)
- Without Ranger Authorization Service (RAZ)
If you have registered your
Cloudera on cloud environment using RAZ,
policies attached to the Ranger RAZ Service role at the Data Lake-level can control access to
external S3 buckets. If your Virtual Warehouse predates the capability to use RAZ
configurations and policies, then you must manually enable RAZ for
Cloudera Data Warehouse and then configure
Data Explorer to access S3 buckets. Your Data Lake must be
RAZ-enabled to manually enable RAZ exclusively for
Cloudera Data Warehouse.
