AWS S3 Deployment

Cloud provision

This deployment guide assumes minimal AWS knowledge, however, there is minimal setup work needed.

The first step is to create an AWS account: https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/create-and-activate-aws-account/

The second step is to create IAM user. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_users_create.html

The third step is to create an IAM access key. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_access-keys.html

The fourth step is to create a S3 bucket. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/GetStartedWithS3.html

COPYLynx can store multiple copy profiles. A copy profile includes specific instructions how to ingest data. Profiles are stored as .ini text files and can be edited with any text editor.

The initial setup requires AWS S3 profile setup.

Export CLY-Profile.ini

Configure CLY-Profile.ini with Text Editor
