2—Entering Credentials for Cloud Migration

Before you can initiate a data migration job in Wasabi Cloud Sync Manager (WCSM), you must specify the source and target bucket information. Bucket information is defined in the Storage object and bucket credentials are defined in the Credentials object.

Entering Source Bucket Credentials

1. Log in to your WCSM account.

2. Click Credentials in the navigation menu on the left side of your screen.

3. Click Create credentials on the top right of your screen.

   

4. Enter a Name for the credential (for example, AcmeSourceBucketCredentials).

5. Select a Scope in the drop-down. There is only one option from which to choose.

6. Select a Type in the drop-down to specify the hyperscaler where your data resides.

7. Specify source bucket credentials, which vary from one hyperscaler to another. The example above is for AWS. Refer to the sections below for Azure and GCP.

8. Enter the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key values for the source (AWS) bucket.

9. Click Save.

Specifying Credentials in Azure

Microsoft recommends transitioning away from Shared Key authorization for Azure Storage in favor of using Azure AD. The following information is required to specify credentials for Azure Blob storage in WCSM.

• Tenant ID: The Directory (tenant) ID of the application representing WCSM in Azure AD.

• Client ID: The application (client) ID of the application representing WCSM in Azure AD.

• Secret ID: The client secret ID.

• Value: The value of the client secret ID.

Refer to Microsoft’s documentation to Create a Microsoft Entra application and service principal that can access resources. Wasabi created a cheat sheet (below) that details the necessary steps required to obtain credentials from Azure for WCSM.

Specifying Credentials in GCP

WCSM requires a Service Account key as the credentials to access GCP Cloud storage. Refer to Google’s documentation to learn how to obtain Service Account keys.

Entering Target (Wasabi) Bucket Credentials

1. Log in to your WCSM account.

2. Click Credentials in the navigation menu on the left side of your screen.

3. Click Create credentials on the top right of your screen.

   

4. Enter a Name for the credential (for example, AcmeTargetBucketCredentials).

5. Select a Scope in the drop-down. There is only one option from which to choose.

6. Select Wasabi for the Type. This indicates your target bucket is in Wasabi.

7. Specify target bucket credentials.

8. Enter the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key values for the target Wasabi bucket.

9. Click Save.

Entering Source Bucket Information

1. Log in to your WCSM account.

2. Click Storage in the navigation menu on the left side of your screen.

5. Select the available Scope in the drop-down.

6. For Storage Type, select the source where your data resides.

7. Enter the actual source bucket name in the Bucket field. The bucket name must exactly match the bucket name in your cloud storage account.
