Qlik Amazon S3 connector - Support for AWS PrivateLink

armandfrigo — Fri, 04 Jun 2021 15:15:53 GMT

Fetch Amazon S3 data from a Qlik Sense site that has not access to the Internet for security reasons (hosted data is super sensitive).

We have no option to open the Internet proxy on these Qlik servers, therefore we cannot connect to Amazon S3 directly.

We have however setup an AWS PrivateLink for Amazon S3: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/privatelink-interface-endpoints.html

This Qlik Sense site could connect to Amazon S3 through a LAN DNS, mapped with Amazon S3.

For this to work, we need an additional Qlik Amazon S3 connector option to specify the VPCE URL.

As of today, the public Amazon S3 URL is hardcoded in the Qlik Amazon S3 connector.

Thank you for posting this requirement. We have added this to the roadmap, and are reviewing the details.

Please be aware that our proprieties can change and that items on the roadmap are not commitments to deliver functionality.

The support for AWS PrivateLink was added in the Amazon S3 connector in the standalone Web Connectors earlier this year, see online help. There are no near-term plans to extend this to the integrated connectors.
