Transferring Oracle Database dump files to Amazon S3
Amazon S3 is an object storage service that offers industry-leading scalability, security, and performance. When you use Amazon S3, you can store and retrieve any amount of data from anywhere at any time.
Note
When you store data in an S3 bucket, Amazon S3 provides data protection for data at rest through server-side encryption and client-side encryption. For more information about protecting data in Amazon S3, see the AWS documentation.
AWS CLI setup
To use Amazon S3 as a target for transferring the Oracle Database dump files, you must configure the AWS CLI on the source server. For information on how to install and configure the AWS CLI, see the AWS documentation.
After you configure the AWS CLI, run the following statements on the source server to validate the configuration and confirm that setup is successful:
-
Windows machine – At the command prompt, run
aws --version. If the setup is successful, it will display the installed version of the AWS CLI. -
Linux machine – At the shell prompt, run
aws --version. If the setup is successful it will display the installed version of the AWS CLI.
