Prerequisites - e6data Docs

Before you begin, make sure you have:

Access to the AWS Console with permission to create IAM roles and policies.
Permission to grant access to the S3 buckets that hold the data you want to query.
Access to AWS Glue (or your chosen catalog service), if you plan to connect a Glue catalog.
An e6data account with permission to create a workspace.

Familiarity with the AWS CLI is optional - every step can be done in the AWS Console, but the CLI is offered as an alternative where it’s faster.

What happens next

Once these are in place, the deployment proceeds as: create your workspace → configure AWS access → connect S3 and Glue → create a cluster → run your first query.
