CreateDataSource

Creates a data source that you use to with an Amazon Kendra index.

You specify a name, connector type and description for your data source. You can choose between an S3 connector, a SharePoint Online connector, and a database connector.

You also specify configuration information such as document metadata (author, source URI, and so on) and user context information.

CreateDataSource is a synchronous operation. The operation returns 200 if the data source was successfully created. Otherwise, an exception is raised.
