Bobsled can deliver data to a Bobsled-managed AWS S3 bucket. This provides a fast and easy way to deliver data, making it easy to grant access to third-party AWS accounts. Bobsled supports setting up Amazon S3 as a destination for both Transfers and Sledhouse Fulfillments. This allows you to deliver data to your consumer's bucket, with optional support for using a Bobsled-managed path.
Prerequisites
For Data Fulfillment in Sledhouse, this feature must be enabled in your environment.
For Bobsled transfers, configuring a destination requires a share to have been created.
Bobsled requires ARN to be provided to grant access to the data in the Bobsled-managed destination. To learn more about ARNs and how to find them, please visit Account Access Identifiers in AWS.

Select the Amazon S3 cloud platform and specify the region of your target destination bucket(s). Keep the "Bobsled-managed bucket" option selected. Press continue.
Enter your ARN and click Grant Access. For information on the ARN's Bobsled accepts, and where your customer can find them, see our documentation about AWS Account Access Identifiers.
You've now successfully set up access.
