Deploy a Federated Database Instance in AWS S3

This page describes how to deploy a federated database instance for accessing data in AWS S3.

Required Access

To deploy a federated database instance, you must have Project Owner access to the project.

Important

Users with Organization Owner access must add themselves as a Project Owner to the project before deploying their federated database instance.

Prerequisites

Before deploying your federated database instance in your AWS S3 bucket, you have to complete the following steps:

  1. Create a MongoDB Atlas account, if you do not have one already.

  2. Install the AWS CLI.

  3. Configure the AWS CLI to access your AWS account. Alternatively, you must have access to the AWS Management Console with permission to create IAM roles.
