Connecting S3 Buckets
Slai comes with several integrations to import data from remote data stores, like S3 buckets. This guide explain how to connect an S3 bucket and use it in your sandbox.
Connecting an Integration
Integrations live at the root level of Slai, which makes them accessible from any sandbox in your account. To create an integration, click the Integrations tab on the sidebar on your dashboard.
You’ll be presented with a list of existing integrations, if any exist. Click Add Integration to create a new one.
You’ll be prompted to enter a name, bucket name, AWS region, access key, and secret access key.
Click Create Connection, and you’ll see your new integration added to the Integrations list.
Using Bucket Contents
In the Data Section of the sandbox, click the + icon to create a new datasource. Select Import from Integration.
You’ll be prompted to select from a list of integrations connected to your account. Let’s select the bucket we just created.
After selecting the integration, the data will be downloaded to the Data Section of the sandbox. You can use the data from your bucket like any ordinary folder or file.
To use the data in your model, click Copy Path and paste the path into the sandbox.
