Work with Multi-Region S3 Buckets (MRAPs)

Etlworks fully supports Amazon S3 Multi-Region Access Points (MRAPs), allowing you to route S3 operations through a single global endpoint with automatic region-aware access.

To use a Multi-Region Access Point in the S3 connector:

1. Create the MRAP in AWS:

   • In the S3 Console, go to Multi-Region Access Points

   • Click Create Multi-Region Access Point

   • Choose two or more existing buckets in different regions

   • Give your MRAP a name (e.g., global-access)

   • AWS will assign it a unique alias (e.g., myxyzx7bn8rdn.mrap)

2. Configure the connector in Etlworks:

   • In the Bucket or MRPA field, enter the MRAP alias (e.g., myxyzx7bn8rdn.mrap)

   • In the AWS Account ID field, enter the 12-digit AWS Account ID (e.g., 123456789559)

   • Etlworks automatically reconstructs the full ARN:

     arn:aws:s3::[account-id]:accesspoint/[alias]

3. Region setting:

   • You can keep the AWS Region set to a standard region (e.g., us-east-1)

   • The SDK will automatically route traffic using the MRAP via Global Accelerator

This configuration allows you to build region-agnostic, failover-resilient S3 workflows across multiple AWS regions with no manual routing logic.
