Creating an Amazon S3 Instance with IAM Role Policy

You can create an Amazon S3 instance with IAM role.

Procedure

From the CommCell Browser, go to Client Computers > Amazon S3 client.
Right-click Cloud Apps, and then point to All Tasks > Create New Instance.

The New Amazon S3 Instance dialog box appears.
On the General tab, provide the following details:
1. In the Instance Name box, type a name for the instance.
2. In the Access Node box, select one or more EC2 VMs or the client group of EC2 VMs where the Cloud Apps package is installed.
  Note
  - The proxy client computers must be of similar operating system type.
  - All clients in the client group must be reachable through network routes.
  Verify that the EC2 VM with IAM role has full permission to the S3 bucket.
3. In the Storage Policy box, select a storage policy for the backup and restore operations.
4. In the Number of Data Backup Streams box, type the number of data streams to use for backups. The maximum value is 99.
  
  Note: The number of streams must not exceed the maximum number configured in the subclient storage policy. The CommServe allocates streams depending on the availability of resources.
On the Connection Details tab, enter the following details:
1. In the Host URL box, type the Amazon S3 service account URL (s3.amazonaws.com).
2. From the Authentication Type list, select AWS IAM role policy.
3. Click OK.
Click OK.

The Commvault software creates a default instance and a default subclient.
