AWS Integration
The AWS Integration option in the left panel allows user to integrate an Amazon Web Service (AWS) Simple Storage Service (S3) bucket to the system.
The AWS S3 bucket provides object-based storage, where data is stored inside S3 buckets in distinct units called objects instead of files.
It allows you to add, edit, delete the AWS S3 buckets.
