Manually create an asset
In Amazon DataZone, an asset is an entity that presents a single physical data object (for example, a table, a dashboard, a file) or virtual data object (for example, a view). For more information, see Amazon DataZone terminology and concepts. Publishing an asset manually is a one-time operation. You don't specify a run schedule for the asset, so it's not updated automatically if its source changes.
To manually create an asset through a project, you must be the owner or the contributor of that project.
To create an asset manually
-
Navigate to the Amazon DataZone data portal URL and sign in using single sign-on (SSO) or your AWS credentials. If you’re an Amazon DataZone administrator, you can navigate to the Amazon DataZone console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/datazone
and sign in with the AWS account where the domain was created, then choose Open data portal. -
Choose Select project from the top navigation pane and select the project to which to create the asset.
-
Navigate to the Data tab for the project.
-
Choose Data sources from the left navigation pane, then choose Create data asset.
-
For Asset details, configure the following settings:
-
Asset type – The type of asset.
-
Name – The name of the asset.
-
Description – A description of the asset.
-
-
For S3 location, enter the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the source S3 bucket.
Optionally, enter an S3 access point. For more information, see Managing data access with Amazon S3 access points.
-
For Publishing settings, choose whether assets are immediately discoverable in the catalog. If you only add them to the inventory, you can choose subscription terms later to publish them to the catalog.
-
Choose Create.
Once the asset is created, it will either be directly published as an active asset in the catalog, or will be stored in the inventory until you decide to publish it.
