S3 Bucket Setup for CloudQuant Data Liberator

This guide walks you through setting up your Amazon S3 bucket for use with the CloudQuant Data Liberator platform.

​
Prerequisites

  • An AWS account with S3 access
  • IAM permissions to create buckets and manage policies
  • Your CloudQuant account credentials

​
Step 1: Create an S3 Bucket

  1. Navigate to the AWS S3 Console
  2. Click Create bucket
  3. Choose a unique bucket name and region
  4. Configure bucket settings as needed

​
Step 2: Configure Bucket Policy

Add a bucket policy that grants CloudQuant Data Liberator read access: 
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::CLOUDQUANT_ACCOUNT_ID:root"
      },
      "Action": [
        "s3:GetObject",
        "s3:ListBucket"
      ],
      "Resource": [
        "arn:aws:s3:::your-bucket-name",
        "arn:aws:s3:::your-bucket-name/*"
      ]
    }
  ]
}
Contact CloudQuant support for the correct AWS Account ID to use in the bucket policy.

​
Step 3: Configure CORS (if needed)

If accessing data from web applications, configure CORS: 
[
  {
    "AllowedHeaders": ["*"],
    "AllowedMethods": ["GET"],
    "AllowedOrigins": ["*"],
    "ExposeHeaders": []
  }
]

​
Step 4: Generate Access Keys

  1. Navigate to IAM in the AWS Console
  2. Create a new IAM user or use an existing one
  3. Generate an Access Key ID and Secret Access Key
  4. Provide these credentials to CloudQuant securely

​
Step 5: Verify Connectivity

Contact CloudQuant support to verify that CloudQuant Data Liberator can successfully connect to your S3 bucket.
