Integration Planning
External Systems
The solution provides a Connector feature that enables you to build connectors for external applications using REST APIs. Before configuring external application integrations, understand the following:
-
Connector interfaces and REST API requirements
-
Authentication and authorization requirements for external systems
-
Data format and payload specifications
Recommended Approach:
-
Start with a proof of concept to validate the integration approach
-
Test the connector in a test mode deployment
-
Deploy to production workloads only after successful validation
Data Migration
Plan and implement a migration strategy for your current workloads. Use a gradual, phased approach to minimize risk and impact:
-
Assess existing data volume and characteristics
-
Plan a phased migration approach considering scale and operational impact
-
Implement backups before each migration phase
-
Define verification procedures to confirm successful data migration
-
Validate data integrity and completeness after each phase
-
Document completion criteria and sign-off procedures
Data Upload Methods:
You can upload data to the solution using one of the following methods:
-
Programmatic migration – Use REST APIs to create resource structures and obtain temporary S3 credentials, then upload directly to Amazon S3
-
Client applications – Use the web portal or desktop application for interactive uploads
