Steps:

  1. Before you begin. If you are using your own AWS S3 buckets, you should prepare them and their access policies to ensure that 

    D s product
    productaws
     can integrate with them. 

    Info

    NOTE: If you do not have these AWS resources, they can be created for you. Details are below.

    1. Technical setup: Please share the technical setup section with your S3 administrator.
  2. Register. Complete the simple online workflow to license and create your 
    D s product
    productaws
     workspace.
  3. Workspace setup. Before you invite other users to your workspace, you should complete a few setup steps.
  4. Invite users. If you intend to share the workspace with other users, you can invite them from within it. 
  5. Wrangle away! 

Before You Begin

Hosted on Amazon Web Services, 

D s product
productaws
 is designed to natively interact with AWS datasources, so that you can rapidly transform your data investments in AWS.

D s item
itemmanaged account

When the product is first launched, a default storage environment is automatically created for you as part of this setup process.

D s tfs
typefull
 is backed by AWS S3 buckets hosted by 
D s company
 and secured by IAM policies.

This default storage environment is managed by

D s company
and is used for storing data assets as well as assets generated by use of the product.

  • If preferred, you can configure the use of S3 as the default storage environment.

    Info

    NOTE: When S3 is used as the default storage environment, you must provide the policies, buckets, and other AWS resources required to manage your datasets and generated results.

  • You can choose to enable other storage environments in addition to your default storage environment.

Any of the following storage environment options can be configured after completing sign-up:
