A Data Bucket is used for general, unstructured storage of data online. This is basically a folder in S3 format that is commonly used to store and access large datasets. Most cloud vendors offer S3 data buckets as a general storage data mechanism. The platform supports buckets from vendors such as Azure, Google and Amazon Web Services. They are particularly popular for Data Science applications.

Data Buckets allow you to use your external datasets inside a workspace. A data bucket attached to a workspace is automatically mounted as a folder to the container’s filesystem.

As for the other types of resources, data buckets are first imported to the platform such that they become available when creating or updating the configuration of a workspace.

A Data Bucket is defined by the following characteristics:

Basic information: Information such as name, the user who added it, service provider (Google, Amazon or Microsoft) and URL.
Class Level: This option defines the visibility for the container based on the user’s permissions.
Permissions: This option lets you define access to a data bucket as read or read and write.
Asset Information: This option allows for providing a description of the data bucket.

The platform provides a mechanism to create versions of buckets. A new version is created when data is uploaded to a bucket from a workspace (with write access). By clicking on a bucket you can see a list of versions followed by basic details (creation date, size, status, connections) as well as its content by clicking on the book icon.

To upload data from a workspace, the workspace must already be attached to the Data Bucket and must have write access. If the workspace is not attached or has read-only access, choose another workspace or update the workspace’s resource access before uploading.

Import a Data Bucket

Requires the Resources permission set to Manage.

The import button names the provider it will use, so it reads Import Google Bucket, Import Amazon Bucket, or Import Microsoft Bucket. Select the provider that matches your bucket before importing.

The form opens as New Google Bucket, New Amazon Bucket, or New Microsoft Bucket, and asks for:

Name, a name to identify the data bucket.
URL, which points to the cloud provider’s storage location.
Attach Asset Information (optional), a description of the bucket.

Select Import to save it.
