General notes on cloud storage providers
Current details are always to be taken from the corresponding instruction pages of the provider!
Important note: Lobster Integration's Input Agent "CloudStorage" and Response "CloudStorage" address each provider's (such as Amazon AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, etc.) REST API via HTTPS and are designed to connect from your local Lobster Integration (on your system) to your cloud provider. In contrast, if Lobster Integration is installed on the cloud, for example on Amazon AWS, we recommend connecting Lobster Integration to Amazon S3 (Amazon Simple Storage Service) via a mountpoint rather than using the REST API. How to create such a mountpoint is described in the documentation of the respective provider.
