Import to Amazon S3

Prerequisites

Before you can configure and submit your import plan, make sure to complete the following steps so that Lyve Import Service can securely access your specified Amazon S3 bucket to import your data.

Recommendations

Seagate strongly recommends the following best practices:

• Create a bucket dedicated to your import plan.
• Block all public access for your bucket.
• Ensure bucket versioning is disabled.
• Ensure server-side encryption is enabled.
• Create an IAM Permission Policy.
• Create an IAM Role trusting Lyve Import Service, attaching the IAM policy you created.
• Disable or delete the role after the import plan has ended.
• Disable or delete the policy after the import plan has ended.

Ensure the following

1. “AWS” is paired with the value you copied for Lyve’s S3 Account ID.
2. “sts:ExternalID” is paired with the value you copied for External ID.

Inviting another user to configure an import plan

If a different member of your Org needs to configure the import plan for a Lyve Mobile subscription, you can invite them to do so in Lyve Management Portal.

• The person must be a member of the Org containing the Lyve Mobile subscription to which you want to add the import plan. See Manage Org members in the Lyve Management Portal User Manual.
• The member must be given the Manage Import Plans permission. See Manage subscription members in the Lyve Management Portal User Manual.
