Getting up in the cloud


This guide will help you get started with S3.




Step 1. Get Connected


  1. Request an S3 connection with optilyz. optilyz will create an S3 bucket within its own Amazon account.
  2. Receive your connection credentials from optilyz. We will provide you with an Access Key ID and a Secret Key via two separate emails.
  3. Connect to your S3 bucket. We suggest using a client such as Cyberduck. However, you are also able to automate your connection and data transfer. Read more here: AWS S3 Guide.
  4. Configure your bucket for your automations and begin uploading data.
