# Amazon S3

![](https://cdn.document360.io/87a415ff-4d6a-4c0c-adbb-26c563a2d9a8/Images/Documentation/s3-source.png)

**Amazon S3**, an *object storage service* offered by Amazon Web Services, is one of many source locations that Bobsled supports. A Provider can set up an Amazon S3 source through first granting Bobsled access to the source bucket in AWS and then configuring the bucket as a source location in Bobsled. Check the [setup guide](/v2/docs/clone-granting-access-to-your-amazon-s3-source) to get started.

## Bobsled IAM Role

Bobsled recommends creating a dedicated IAM role for Bobsled with s3 with read access, as well as a trust policy that allows Bobsled to use it with proper Amazon S3 security.

## Permissions on Source

Bobsled requires the following permissions on an Amazon S3 bucket source location to be able to read files in the bucket:

- `s3:GetBucketLocation`
- `s3:GetObject`
- `s3:GetObjectVersion`
- `s3:ListBucket`
