Data repositories
Data Explorer requires programmatic access via valid credentials to browse and interact with remotely hosted private data repositories.
To automatically connect to one or more data repositories, create a new credential that includes Name and Provider. Specific data repositories require additional information to connect.
AWS Simple Storage Service (S3) object storage
Add an Access key, and Secret key. You can optionally provide an IAM role for temporary access - this must be a fully qualified AWS role ARN. S3 object storage buckets are prefixed with an AWS icon and s3:// in Data Explorer.
Seqera Compute uses AWS S3 object storage, and are prefixed with a Seqera icon and the s3:// namespace in Data Explorer.
Azure Blob Storage
Select between different credential types: a Shared key, Entra, or Cloud.
- Shared key: Access your Azure accounts directly using primary or secondary access keys.
- Entra: Authenticate via an Azure Entra service principal for enhanced security and identity management.
- Cloud: Authenticate via an Azure Entra service principal for Azure Cloud.
Select Entra for modern, identity-based access control. Select Cloud for Entra identity-based access control with Cloud specializations. Select Shared key for full, direct account access.

Add an Access key, Secret key, Server base URL, and optionally select path-style URL access. Refer to your S3-compatible storage provider documentation to determine if path-style URL access is applicable.
OCI has specific object-storage endpoints that are S3-compatible, and include .compat. in the server base URL. These are in the form https://<object_storage_namespace>.compat.objectstorage.<region>.oci.customer-oci.com.
