Ingest From S3 Workflow

This workflow allows you to ingest images from the AWS Simple Storage Service (S3) into ApertureDB. This lets you use your own existing data. This provides an easy way to get started with ApertureDB, and to see how it can be used with real data.

Creating the workflow​

For general information on creating workflows in ApertureDB Cloud see Creating and Deleting Workflows.

Configure your workflow by selecting:

  • Which instance to use. If you only have one instance, there will be no options to select.
  • The S3 bucket name. You may be able to list your S3 buckets using aws s3 ls or by using the AWS S3 Console.
  • AWS Access Key and AWS Secret Access Key. See AWS documentation for details on how to generate these keys. For your own security, you may wish to generate new keys for this purpose.

Setup Your Workflow

Once you have filled in the fields, click "Submit". Your workflow will be created and will start running.

See the results​

If you go to the "My Instances" page and click on "Connect" for the instance you used, you will see an option to go to the Web UI for your instance. You will see the number of objects in the database increase as the workflow runs. Click on the refresh button to update the count.
