Archiving to AWS S3 Using Access Credentials

Overview

This method allows you to configure YakChat to deposit archived conversation data into your own AWS S3 Bucket using your AWS credentials. You will need to create or identify an existing S3 Bucket and obtain the required access details from your AWS account.

Archiving to AWS S3 Using Access Credentials

Obtain The Required Details

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the S3 service.
  2. Create a new S3 Bucket or select an existing one where you want to store the archived files.
  3. Take note of the Bucket Name.
  4. Navigate to the IAM (Identity and Access Management) service.
  5. Under Users, select or create a user account with permissions to write to the chosen S3 bucket.
  6. In the user’s Security Credentials tab, create a new Access Key.
  7. Copy both the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.
  8. Identify and note the AWS Region where your bucket resides (e.g., us-east-1, eu-west-2, etc,).
