Managed Resources

When you view your S3 account using a GUI client or the AWS CLI for the first time, you will notice a number of pre-existing buckets that have been created.

Pre-Existing Buckets

• duracloud-$ID-request: Used to make requests to create new buckets. See: Creating Buckets
• duracloud-$ID-managed: Used to deposit generated files such as audit history, exports, inventory, and reports. This bucket is read-only.
• duracloud-$ID-private: Default private bucket.
• duracloud-$ID-public: Default public bucket. Files uploaded here will have a publicly accessible URL.

Managed Bucket Structure

Over time, the duracloud-$ID-managed bucket will contain the following prefixes (folders):

• audit: AWS generated Audit logs
• batch: AWS generated files related to S3 batch operations
• cloudtrail: AWS generated files for events related to S3
• feedback: Application generated files for troubleshooting issues
• manifests: AWS generated inventory files
• metadata: Application generated files related to various stats (checksum, usage etc.)
• reports: Application generated files intended for user review and download

More information about the data available in the -managed bucket is available on the Reports page.

Tip

• If the AWS account is used for purposes, additional buckets may exist. This may also occur if there are multiple stacks per account.
• However, the access credentials provided for this service will only work with the eligible stack resources associated with the user credentials.
