I am trying to get Dremio to connect to EMC ECS. I have added fs.s3a.endpoint to the Properties but I am unable to connect. When I go to save, I get Failed to create workspaces for buckets owned by the account. Thanks ---

I do not believe Dremio looks at fs.s3a.endpoint property to connect to it directly. Essentially it figures out what buckets are accessible based on the credentials specified. But good idea for enhancement. ---

Hi Team, Can you please confirm if we can connect to EMC ECS S3 with Dremio. Tried connecting using Amazon S3 source but it fails with ‘ConnectTimeoutException’ : “Connect to [s3.amazonaws.com:80](http://s3.amazonaws.com:80) [[s3.amazonaws.com/54.231.72.186](http://s3.amazonaws.com/54.231.72.186)] failed: connect timed out”. It tries to connect to ‘[s3.amazonaws.com:80](http://s3.amazonaws.com:80)’ despite of mapping fs.s3a.endpoint property. Please confirm how to connect to ECS S3 using dremio? Thanks. ---

Hi @Can @yufeldman Can’t we use Amazon S3 source([https://docs.dremio.com/data-sources/s3.html](https://docs.dremio.com/data-sources/s3.html)) to connect with ECS S3. As ECS S3 uses AWS S3 behind the scenes? ---

Dremio can now connect to EMC ECS and other S3 compatible products: [https://docs.dremio.com/data-sources/s3.html#connecting-to-an-s3-compatible-product](https://docs.dremio.com/data-sources/s3.html#connecting-to-an-s3-compatible-product)
