S3 FAQ

Which permissions do I need to grant in S3 in order to sync from AWS?

The CloudQuery integration only requires PutObject permissions to sync to the S3 destination and we recommend that you grant only these permissions to CloudQuery in order to keep your setup as secure as possible. CloudQuery does not require access to your S3 cloud configuration settings, only permission to add objects to your S3 buckets.

Yes, if you want CloudQuery to use these credentials, then the files need to be located in the .aws directory of your home folder. The two files are almost identical in format but if there is a conflict, CloudQuery will prioritise the credential information that it reads from the credentials file over those found in config.

CloudQuery can load information in your choice of csv, parquet or json. This is specified in the format field.

AWS FAQ

What permissions does the AWS integration require to run?

To sync your data to S3 the CloudQuery AWS integration only requires read permissions. The integration will never need to make any changes to your AWS setup, and we recommend that you only grant read permissions.

CloudQuery does not have access to any of the data you sync from AWS. We only collect only metadata about usage for billing purposes. The CloudQuery CLI will only have access to the data that you grant it permission to access. You will always be in control of the data that is being synced from AWS to S3 and will have the ability to revoke permissions at any time.

Anyone can try CloudQuery completely free of charge for 14 days, regardless of how much data you move from AWS to S3. After your trial ends, you can continue to sync one million rows every month completely free of charge - any further syncs are charged based on a simple pay as you go pricing model per million rows. The more you sync, the less you pay per row.
