ECS supports both traditional object users and IAM users. The examples in this section use a traditional object user. An object user (access key ID), S3 secret key, namespace, and bucket must be created for Vertica. A VIP is also required on an IP load balancer to direct traffic across the ECS nodes. Dell recommends using Kemp ECS Connection Manager. For more details about the configuration of the ECS Connection Manager load balancer, see Dell ECS with Kemp ECS Connection Manager.
