How are Datica S3 Buckets managed?

Datica sets a variety of default policies on S3 Buckets to achieve compliant behavior!

Bucket Policies

Require Server Side Encryption

Datica requires all POST/PUT operations to S3 Buckets to specify server-side encryption.

This policy affects API and command-line interactions with S3 buckets.

You WILL receive Access Denied errors if you attempt a PUT/POST without a server-side-encryptoin flag or header.

When using the AWS CLI, you’ll need to add the --sse flag to your command, such as

aws s3 cp myfile.txt s3://your_bucket_name/ --sse

For some SDKs, you may have to set the x-amz-server-side-encryption header on the request instead. The value of this header should be set to AES256. For example, the header on the upload request should look like

x-amz-server-side-encryption: AES256

CORS Policies

Datica enables the default CORS policy on S3 buckets. You can manipulate the CORS policies yourself with the AWS CLI s3api routes.
