Question

Are Customer Provided with S3 Bucket to Upload and Download data that can be used in LCA Code or other Java Programs associated with Reltio to store sensitive data?

Answer

Yes, Reltio provides customers with the capability to upload and download data using their own Amazon S3 buckets. This functionality is facilitated through Reltio's Export and Data Loader services, allowing for secure and customizable data transfers.

Exporting Data to Your S3 Bucket

Reltio's Export Service enables you to export data directly to your custom S3 bucket. To set this up:

1. Prepare Your S3 Bucket: Create an S3 bucket in your AWS account and ensure it has the necessary permissions for write access.
2. Configure AWS IAM Role: Set up an AWS IAM role that Reltio can assume to write data to your S3 bucket. This involves creating a trust relationship and assigning appropriate permissions.

3. Initiate Export with API: Use the Reltio Export API to initiate data exports, specifying your S3 bucket details in the request. Example configuration:

   POST /jobs/export/{tenantId}/entities
   Authorization: Bearer {token}
   Content-Type: application/json
   awsAccessKey: {AWS_ACCESS_KEY}
   awsSecretKey: {AWS_SECRET_KEY}
   s3Bucket: {your-bucket-name}
   s3Path: /path/to/exported-file.zip
   

   This configuration allows Reltio to export data directly to your specified S3 location.

   Loading Data from Your S3 Bucket

   Reltio's Data Loader supports loading data into Reltio from your own S3 bucket

   1. Configure AWS IAM Role: Set up an AWS IAM role that grants Reltio's Data Loader service read access to your S3 bucket. This involves creating a trust relationship and assigning appropriate permissions. 

   2. Set Up Data Loader: In the Reltio Console, configure the Data Loader to use your S3 bucket as the source for data files. Provide the necessary credentials and specify the file path within the S3 bucket. 

   Security Considerations

   To enhance security, Reltio supports the use of AWS IAM roles for authentication, eliminating the need for static AWS access keys. This approach ensures secure access to your S3 resources during data exports and imports.
