AWS S3 Destination

​

Overview

In addition to our unified API, Terminal supports automatically replicating normalized data to an Amazon S3 bucket in your AWS account. This enables:

• Ongoing data replication to power downstream data pipelines
• Complete data archival to maintain ownership of your data
• Simplified implementation without the need to implement APIs or orchestrate data ingestion

To learn more about Terminal’s S3 replication capabilities and determine if it fits your use case, reach out to our team and we can help you get set up.

Configuration Steps

​

Step 1: Create an Amazon S3 Bucket

1. Log in to the AWS Management Console

2. Navigate to S3 under Storage services

3. Create a new bucket:

   • Click “Create bucket”
   • Enter a unique bucket name (e.g., your-company-terminal-data)
   • Choose your region
   • Keep default security settings to block public access
   • Enable default encryption
   • Click “Create bucket”

4. (Optional) Enable S3 versioning to protect against accidental deletions or overwrites:

   • Go to bucket Properties
   • Find and enable Versioning to protect against accidental changes

​

Step 2: Configure the Bucket Policy

1. Go to your bucket’s Permissions tab

2. Add the bucket policy:

   • Click “Edit” under Bucket Policy
   • Paste the relevant policy provided below depending on your environment
   • Save changes

​
