This lab will take you through the process of using object tagging, configuring S3 Inventory and viewing an existing inventory.
-
Right-click on the AWS Console link below and select open in new tab
-
Log into the AWS account using the credentials provided by the presenter
-
Navigate to the S3 Console by selecting Services -> Amazon S3 at the upper left
-
You should see a list of buckets like this:
-
Each student has two S3 buckets. Unless otherwise specified in the instructions, make sure you use the bucket assigned to you and without "CRR" in the bucket name. (e.g. make sure to use the bucket with a name like this: stg209-student-1)
-
Go to the S3 console, click on the name of your S3 bucket (e.g. stg209-student-#), and click on the Lab1 folder
-
Select the checkbox to the left of the first object file001.bin to open up the object details view. (Note: if you clicked on the actual object name it will open up a tabbed view. Go to the Properties tab, then Tags box)
-
Click on the word Tags to open the tag editor
-
Click the Add Tag button
-
Add some tags to the objects as shown in the image
-
Click Save then Save Tags
-
Your object has now been tagged.
Since the S3 inventory is only generated on a daily or weekly basis, we will view an existing inventory in this lab.
-
Go to the inventory sub-folder in your Lab1 folder (
stg209-student-#/lab1/inventory). You will see three example files.
-
The CSV file is an example of what an inventory file will look like. Feel free to download and view the file on your laptop.
Note: the CSV file would normally be gzip compressed, it is uncompressed here for your convenience
-
The manifest file is a manifest that describes what is in the inventory CSV file.
-
The checksum file is the MD5 of the content of the manifest.json file
Congratulations! You have completed Lab 1
