Accessing S3 buckets

In Cloudera Data Warehouse (CDW) Public Cloud clusters running on AWS environments, you need to configure access to S3 buckets.

The subtopics of this document describe using the CDW UI for configuring access to S3 buckets. This documentation does not apply if you are using CDW as follows:

In a RAZ (Ranger Authorized) environment
See Accessing buckets in a RAZ environment.
In a managed policy environment with a managed policy ARN
See Accessing S3 buckets in a managed policy environment.
In reduced permissions mode

In a RAZ or managed policy environment, or in reduced permissions mode, you use AWS instance profiles instead of the CDW UI. The UI for configuring an external S3 bucket does not appear in these environments and modes.
