Amazon S3 REST Connector 

Before we explore the Amazon S3 REST connector – One of the many application connectors provided by Boomi, we should know what it is.

What is Amazon S3?

Amazon S3 or Amazon Simple Storage Service is a cloud storage platform provided by amazon web services used to store and protect data. This storage helps to retrieve data from anywhere making it easily accessible whenever required. This storage facility provides cost-effective and easy-to-use management features that help to manage data, optimize cost, and configure access control to meet specific organizational or compliance requirements.

Coming back to Amazon S3 REST Connector, as already mentioned, it’s an application connector provided by Boomi to connect to and exchange data from the Amazon S3 platform.
