Amazon S3 can be used by Optimizely <<product-name>> to store product images and documents associated with products. This section provides an overview of the components necessary to set up <<product-name>> to use Amazon S3.

Visually, the Admin Console will not change. As such, adding content such as images is exactly the same as it is when using a local file system. For more information, see the Local File System user guide article.

Prerequisites

  • An active Amazon S3 Account

  • Your Amazon S3 Access Key

  • Your Amazon S3 Secret Key

  • The name of the Amazon S3 bucket you wish to use to contain your content

The following Application Settings must be set in order to use Amazon S3 as your file store location:
