Integration: S3

In this topic you will learn about integrating Audience Insights with S3,

About the S3 integration

When the S3 integration is set up, Brightcove creates an AWS S3 bucket that Audience Insights reports are automatically exported to on a daily or weekly basis (depending on the setup). One or more AWS admins in the customer Brightcove account are given access to the S3 bucket and can grant access to other users so that they can review the reports.

Overview

When you set up an integration with S3, data reports are automatically exported to an S3 bucket called reports.wicketlabs.com and available to be viewed or downloaded from there.

The reports will be exported to S3 on a daily or weekly basis, according to the schedule you set up, and will be available to those you given access by an admin on your AWS account (steps are shown below).
