Vertica EON S3 access without IAM role

vctrstrm

I've been trying to evaluate Vertica EON on AWS but could not find any way to pass IAM credentials to admintools when creating the database. I know setting up an EC2 role works, but is there any way to create a Vertica EON database with specific Access-Key/Secret-Access-Key ?

I appreciate any insight someone may have on this

yes there is a way. (applies to vertica 9.2+)
Add the following parameters to

/opt/vertica/config/admintools.conf

Then issue the create_db command. These get baked into the database.

[BootstrapParameters]
awsregion = us-east-1
awsauth = AWS_ACCESS_KEY:AWS_SECRET_KEY
awsenablehttps = 1

offcourse, ensure that this key has access to the bucket, else create_db will fail
