# Knox Media Hub With Wasabi

Wasabi has been validated to work with [Knox Media Hub](https://www.knoxmediahub.com/). Knox Media Hub seamlessly integrates its media asset management, distribution portals, and transcoding services with Wasabi S3 storage, enhancing efficiency and reliability in managing, distributing, and transcoding media assets.

## Requirements

- Active [Wasabi Cloud Storage Account](https://wasabi.com/sign-up)
- Wasabi Bucket—See [Bucket Creation Guide](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/working-with-buckets-and-objects)
- Access and Secret Key See [Access Keys Guide](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/creating-a-user-account-and-access-key)
- Active KnoxMediaHub Account

5. Provide the Wasabi Keys to the KnoxMediaHub onboarding team using a secure channel.
6. In the Wasabi Console, navigate to Policies and create a new policy with the following permissions. Replace the "INSERT-BUCKET-HERE" tag with your bucket ARN:

![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/image-1721395590084.png)

```actionscript
Unset
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "s3:*",
"Resource": "<INSERT-BUCKET-HERE>"
}
]
}
```
7. Attach the newly created policy to the user that was created earlier.
8. In the Wasabi Console, go to Buckets and either create a new bucket or open an existing bucket you want to connect with KnoxMediaHub.

***Note:*** *This example discusses the use of Wasabi’s us-east-1 storage region. To use other Wasabi storage regions, use the appropriate Wasabi service URL as described in* [*Service URLs for Wasabi's Storage Regions*](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/what-are-the-service-urls-for-wasabis-different-storage-regions)*.*
9. Go to **Settings,** then **Permissions,** and add the following permissions policy to your bucket.

20. The new hot folder will be created, and you will be able to start ingesting content into KnoxMediaHub and Wasabi.

You can either place a file directly in the Wasabi bucket or upload it to KnoxMediaHub.

## Replication of Buckets

[Wasabi’s Object replication](https://wasabi.com/cloud-object-storage/object-replication) feature enables you to replicate or copy your data between Wasabi regions to protect against ransomware attacks, malicious data manipulation, natural disasters, or even accidental deletion. Object replication enables you to replicate/copy objects from an active storage bucket (source) to one or more different buckets (destination).

1. Create a new Wasabi bucket, connect it to KnoxMediahub, and connect the ingestion lambda. See the steps in the Configuration section or refer to the KnoxMediaHub S3 Bucket Guide.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/image-1721394679379.png)
2. Notify KnoxMediaHub and provide the access keys to connect to the bucket. The KnoxMediaHub team will create the bucket, and it will be available in the storage UI.

3. Create a hot folder in the replicated bucket with a path prefix to monitor. If you need to detect replicated files across the entire bucket, the path is “/”.

4. If you want the replicated objects to be attached as Versions instead of new objects, go to the created hot folder and mark Check Ingested Files Exists in Another Storage.

5. In the Wasabi console. Go to **Bucket**, then **Configuration,** then **Object Replication,** and create a new replication rule.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/image-1721394777009.png)
6. Files will start being replicated.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/image-1721394803537.png)
7. When uploading a new file it will be replicated by Wasabi. You can check the ingestion of both copies in the ingestion panel.

8. The file will be available in the library. If you checked Check Ingested Files Exists in Another Storage, the new version will be created as a location for the file in the main bucket.
