Amazon S3 Endpoint

Amazon S3 endpoints connect Eve to S3-compatible object storage for governed bucket and object operations.

Endpoint Kind

Use s3 as the endpoint kind when creating this endpoint through the API or dashboard.

What Eve Uses This Endpoint For

List, read, and manage object-storage data through approved tools.
Use object storage in migration, analytics, and document-processing workflows.
Centralize S3 credential handling.
Support custom endpoints such as LocalStack or compatible object stores.

Basic Endpoint Shape

json

{
  "endpoint": "s3-data",
  "kind": "s3",
  "config": {
    "read_conn": {
      "provider": "AwsS3",
      "region": "us-east-1",
      "default_bucket": "analytics-data",
      "access_key_id": "AKIA...",
      "secret_access_key": "secret"
    }
  }
}

Create it with the endpoint API:

bash

curl -sS -X POST "$EDEN/endpoints" \
  -H "$AUTH_HEADER" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "endpoint": "s3-data",
  "kind": "s3",
  "config": {
    "read_conn": {
      "provider": "AwsS3",
      "region": "us-east-1",
      "default_bucket": "analytics-data",
      "access_key_id": "AKIA...",
      "secret_access_key": "secret"
    }
  }
}'

Configuration Fields

Field	Purpose
`region`	AWS region
`access_key_id`	Access key ID
`secret_access_key`	Secret access key
`session_token`	Optional session token
`default_bucket`	Optional default bucket
`endpoint_url`	Optional custom endpoint URL

Operating Notes

Use bucket policies and IAM to restrict object prefixes before exposing access through Eve.
Avoid broad write/delete permissions unless the workflow requires them.
Treat object contents as potentially sensitive and gate reads through RBAC.
