terraform reference existing s3 bucket and dynamo table - amazon-s3

From my Terraform script, I am trying to get hold of data for existing resources such as the ARN of an existing DynamoDB table and the bucket Id for an exiting S3 bucket. I've tried to use terraform_remote_state for S3, however it doesn't fit my requirements as it requires a key and I haven't found anything yet that would work for Dynamo.
Is there a solution the would work for both or would there be two separate solutions?
Many thanks in advance.

Remote state is not the concept you need - that's for storage of the tfstate file. What you require is a "data source":
https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs/data-sources/s3_bucket
https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs/data-sources/dynamodb_table
In Terraform, you use "Resources" to declare what things need to be created (if they don't exist), and "Data Sources" to read information from things that already exist and are not managed by Terraform.

Download big number of files (400k) from S3 bucket into Azure Datalake Gen2 using Azure Data Factory

I need to download a big number of files (around 400k) files from an S3 bucket. I have the paths stored in a csv file. Some of the paths may not exist.
The two options i see are:
Use the foreach activity and somehow pass the contents of the file there. But i think that this would flood my monitor pane with a huge number of runs, and it feels like it is meant to be for smaller pipelines.
Use the listOfFiles option which is supported in the S3 source. The problem with this approach is that the list must be in the S3 bucket and cannot be loaded from Azure Datalake Gen2 (anybody knows why, please let me know as well).
I have tried using the listOfFiles way, but the pipeline fails once it finds the first missing file. The fault tolerance options contain a "skip missing file" option but it is defined as "Skip the files if it is being deleted from source store during the data movement", so it is of no use to me.
I don't want to download more files than needed, so copying the bucket as-is is not an option. How can i approach this issue with ADF? I'm looking for a solution that uses the predefined transformations, ideally i would like to not involve Azure Batch or Azure Functions for such a simple task.

Exclude specific files from S3 Cross-Region Replication

I was wondering if there was a way to exclude specific files from S3 Cross-Region Replication. I am aware of the prefix option, but I have a cache folder within my bucket that I don't want to include.
Example:
I want to include the following:
images/production/image1/file.jpg
But I don't want to include this:
images/production/image1/cache/file.jpg
Seems you need to play with objects/bucket rights in order to exclude certain objects from replication:
Amazon S3 will replicate only objects in the source bucket for which
the bucket owner has permission to read objects and read ACLs
and
Amazon S3 will not replicate objects in the source bucket for which
the bucket owner does not have permissions
Maybe will be easier to move cache data in a separate bucket.
I know it's an old post but I thought it might be worth updating it with an answer that does not require meddling with the permissions.
According to Amazon's own documentation (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/crr-how-setup.html) you can choose the objects (using a prefix in the object name or filtering by tags) that will be replicated in the Replication Configuration for the bucket:
The objects that you want to replicate—You can replicate all of the objects in >the source bucket or a subset. You identify subset by providing a key name >prefix, one or more object tags, or both in the configuration. For example, if >you configure cross-region replication to replicate only objects with the key >name prefix Tax/, Amazon S3 replicates objects with keys such as Tax/doc1 or >Tax/doc2, but not an object with the key Legal/doc3. If you specify both prefix >and one or more tags, Amazon S3 replicates only objects having specific key >prefix and the tags.
For instance, to use a prefix, set the following rule in your CRR configuration (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/crr-add-config.html):
<Rule>
...
<Filter>
<Prefix>key-prefix</Prefix>
</Filter>

How to upload multiple files to google cloud storage bucket as a transaction

Use Case:
Upload multiple files into a cloud storage bucket, and then use that data as a source to a bigquery import. Use the name of the bucket as the metadata to drive which sharded table the data should go into.
Question:
In order to prevent partial import to the bigquery table, ideally, I would like to do the following,
Upload the files into a staging bucket
Verify all files have been uploaded correctly
Rename the staging bucket to its final name (for example, gs://20130112)
Trigger the bigquery import to load the bucket into a sharded table
Since gsutil does not seem to support bucket rename, what are the alternative ways to accomplish this?
Google Cloud Storage does not support renaming buckets, or more generally an atomic way to operate on more than one object at a time.
If your main concern is that all objects were uploaded correctly (as opposed to needing to ensure the bucket content is only visible once all objects are uploaded), gsutil cp supports that -- if any object fails to upload, it will report the number that failed to upload and exit with a non-zero status.
So, a possible implementation would be a script that runs gsutil cp to upload all your files, and then checks the gsutil exit status before creating the BigQuery table load job.
Mike Schwartz, Google Cloud Storage team
Object names are actually flat in Google Cloud Storage; from the service's perspective, '/' is just another character in the name. The folder abstraction is provided by clients, like gsutil and various GUI tools. Renaming a folder requires clients to request a sequence of copy and delete operations on each object in the folder. There is no atomic way to rename a folder.

AWS: Append only mode for S3 bucket

Context
I want to have a machine upload a file dump.rdb to s3/blahblahblah/YEAR-MONTH-DAY-HOUR.rdb on the hour.
Thus, I need this machine to have the ability to upload new files to S3.
However, I don't want this machine to have the ability to (1) delete existing files or (2) overwrite existing files.
In a certain sense, it can only "append" -- it can only add in new objects.
Question:
Is there a way to configure an S3 setup like this?
Thanks!
I cannot comment yet, so here is a refinement to #Viccari 's answer...
The answer is misleading because it only addresses #1 in your requirements, not #2. In fact, it appears that it is not possible to prevent overwriting existing files, using either method, although you can enable versioning. See here: Amazon S3 ACL for read-only and write-once access.
Because you add a timestamp to your file names, you have more or less worked around the problem. (Same would be true of other schemes to encode the "version" of each file in the file name: timestamps, UUIDs, hashes.) However, note that you are not truly protected. A bug in your code, or two uploads in the same hour, would result in an overwritten file.
Yes, it is possible.
There are two ways to add permissions to a bucket and its contents: Bucket policies and Bucket ACLs. You can achieve what you want by using bucket policies. On the other hand, Bucket ACLs do not allow you to give "create" permission without giving "delete" permission as well.
1-Bucket Policies:
You can create a bucket policy (see some common examples here), allowing, for example, an specific IP address to have specific permissions.
For example, you can allow: s3:PutObject and not allow s3:DeleteObject.
More on S3 actions in bucket policies can be found here.
2-Bucket ACLs:
Using Bucket ACLs, you can only give the complete "write" permission, i.e. if a given user is able to add a file, he is also able to delete files.
This is NOT possible! S3 is a key/value store and thus inherently doesn't support append only. The PUT/cp command to S3 can always overwrite a file. By enabling versioning on your bucket you are still safe in cause the account uploading the files gets compromised.

Folder won't delete on Amazon S3

I'm trying to delete a folder created as a result of a MapReduce job. Other files in the bucket delete just fine, but this folder won't delete. When I try to delete it from the console, the progress bar next to its status just stays at 0. Have made multiple attempts, including with logout/login in between.
I had the same issue and used AWS CLI to fix it:
aws s3 rm s3://<your-bucket>/<your-folder-to-delete>/ --recursive ;
(this assumes you have run aws configure and aws s3 ls s3://<your-bucket>/ already works)
First and foremost, Amazon S3 doesn't actually have a native concept of folders/directories, rather is a flat storage architecture comprised of buckets and objects/keys only - the directory style presentation seen in most tools for S3 (including the AWS Management Console itself) is based solely on convention, i.e. simulating a hierarchy for objects with identical prefixes - see my answer to How to specify an object expiration prefix that doesn't match the directory? for more details on this architecture, including quotes/references from the AWS documentation.
Accordingly, your problem might stem from a tool using a different convention for simulating this hierarchy, see for example the following answers in the AWS forums:
Ivan Moiseev's answer to the related question Cannot delete file from bucket, where he suggests to use another tool to inspect whether you might have such a problem and remedy it accordingly.
The AWS team response to What are these _$folder$ objects? - This is a convention used by a number of tools including Hadoop to make directories in S3. They're primarily needed to designate empty directories. One might have preferred a more aesthetic scheme, but well that is the way that these tools do it.
Good luck!
I was getting the following error when I tried to delete a bucket which was a directory that held log files from Cloudfront.
An unexpected error has occurred. Please try again later.
After I disabled logging in Cloudfront I was able to delete the folder successfully.
My guess is that it was a system folder used by Cloudfront that did not allow deletion by the owner.
In your case, you may want to check if MapReduce is holding on to the folder in question.
I was facing the same problem. Tried many login, logout attempts and refresh but problem persist. Searched stackoverflow and found suggestions to cut and paste folder in different folder then delete but didn't worked.
Another thing you should look is for versioning that might effect your bucket may be suspending the versioning allow you to delete the folder.
My solution was to delete it with code. I have used boto package in python for file handling over s3 and the deletion worked when I tried to delete that folder from my python code.
import boto
from boto.s3.key import Key
keyId = "your_aws_access_key"
sKeyId = "your_aws_secret_key"
fileKey="dummy/foldertodelete/" #Name of the file to be deleted
bucketName="mybucket001" #Name of the bucket, where the file resides
conn = boto.connect_s3(keyId,sKeyId) #Connect to S3
bucket = conn.get_bucket(bucketName) #Get the bucket object
k = Key(bucket,fileKey) #Get the key of the given object
k.delete() #Delete
S3 doesn't keep directory it just have a flat file structure so everything is managed with key.
For you its a folder but for S3 it just an key.
If you want to delete a folder named -> dummy
then key would be
fileKey = "/dummy/"
Firstly, read the content of directory from getBucket method, then you got a array list of all files, then delete the file from deleteObject method.
if (($contents = $this->S3->getBucket(AS_S3_BUCKET, "file_path")) !== false)
{
foreach ($contents as $file)
{
$result = $this->S3->deleteObject(AS_S3_BUCKET,$file['name']);
}
}
$this->S3 is S3 class object, and AS_S3_BUCKET is bucket name.
