In order to integrate with Open Telecom Cloud, you must:
  1. Create the account to access data in the Object Storage Service.
  2. Give the account read access to the desired buckets by:
    • Creating a Custom Bucket Policy.
    • (Optional) If you have Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) configured on your buckets, make sure that *.encord.com is given read access.
  3. Create the integration.

​
1. Start Setting up the Integration

  1. To create an Open Telekom Cloud integration, click the + Add integration button in the Integrations tab. Select OTC.
  1. Give the integration a meaningful name

​
2. Create an Account for Encord IAM

  1. Log in to the OTC console and navigate to the Identity and Access Management (IAM) dashboard.
  2. Create a new user with Programmatic access.
  1. Download the access key.
  1. Paste the OTC account access ID and the Secret access key into Step 2 of the OTC integration window in Encord.

​
3. Give the Account Read Access to Your Buckets

  1. In OTC, navigate to the bucket and click the Create Bucket Policy button.
  2. Click OK to create the custom bucket policy.

​
4. Configuring CORS

If you use Infrastructure as Code tools like Terraform, they can overwrite your manual CORS settings. To prevent this, always include the correct CORS policy in your Terraform configuration file.
If your bucket has a configured CORS policy, make sure it permits access from *.encord.com.

​
5. Create the Integration

In Encord, click the Create button at the bottom of the integration pop-up. The integration now appears in the list of integrations.

​
6. Testing the Integration

  1. Click the Run a test button to test the integration.
  1. Paste the URL of any object in the bucket and click Check Encord can access this URI. If the test is successful a green tick appears next to Encord infrastructure and This machine.
