Manage Blob Storage
Learn how to connect and manage other resources in Humanitec.
Humanitec is designed to easily integrate with managed file storage (e.g., Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage). Most required Drivers are still experimental and currently thoroughly tested by our team before being released as out-of-the-box integrations. Please contact us to get access to these experimental Drivers.
The following sections provide an overview of the integrations that are available out-of-the-box in Humanitec.
If you cannot find the file storage you need in the list below or if you happen to have special requirements, reach out to us and we are happy to support you. Alternatively, you can create your own Resource Driver.
You can easily connect Humanitec to an Amazon s3 bucket. The next paragraphs explain how.

By clicking on your s3 bucket in the list of resources, the Matching row will expand and allow you to add or remove matching criteria. Each s3 bucket can be matched to specific Environment Types, App IDs, Environment IDs or Resource IDs. Empty fields are automatically resolved to match all values of the given category.

Based on this Resource Definition, during the deployment on any of the matching applications or environments, an Active Resource will be provisioned if required.
