You will use S3 buckets to upload data from your lab to share internally within WCWH.
Bookmark the link to the AWS portal login page: https://utexas.awsapps.com/start. Go to the portal page, and login with your EID and password.
The AWS access portal page has an orange icon. Select the label "VRES-WCWH-Cohort" and then the "COLAITS-S3-faculty-name" link.
Now you are signed into AWS and are on the main console landing page. You will see that many things are disabled for you. Use the search bar at the top left to search for "S3."
Click the star icon to create a shortcut to the S3 console page and then select the S3 option.
You are now at the main S3 screen. You will have access to an S3 bucket or buckets with the name of your lab in the following format:
wcwh-data-prod-cohort-faculty-name
Use the search bar to quickly find the bucket you are looking for. Make sure you choose the bucket with the prefix wcwh-data-prod-. Some lab groups will have multiple buckets. You will only be able to access the S3 bucket for your lab.
Select the bucket for your lab and use the orange Upload button to upload your data files. You will have the option to use a drag/drop operation or a file browser for the upload process. I manage encryption for all WCWH buckets centrally, so you don't need to try to change any bucket settings.
- Please do not put anything into the folder named “processed_data_for_database” before meeting with Joe. Labs will use that particular folder to add records to a database visible by everyone within WCWH. You can still create folders and upload other data, though.
- I encrypted all WCWH S3 buckets so you don't need to try to change bucket settings.
- You will only be able to access your own lab’s S3 bucket.
