AWS DMS - Endpoint target Redshift with user provided S3 bucket name

Question

Please let know on the console how to provided S3 name while configuring Amazon redshift as target endpoint, by default it creates intermediary S3 bucket for data transit but there is option for user provided S3 bucket, just not able to find where to fill the details in the Target endpoint form.

Answer

DMS documentation has steps to configure custom s3 bucket https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dms/latest/userguide/CHAP_Target.Redshift.html#CHAP_Target.Redshift.EndpointSettings.S3Buckets

From console you can edit the endpoint settings and under editor in json format to add below

```
{
  "BucketName": "dmscustombucketforredshift",
  "ServiceAccessRoleArn": "arn:aws:iam::1xxxxxxxxxx0:role/dms-access-for-endpoint"
}
```
make sure the role used has permissions to bucket similar to managed iam policy AmazonDMSRedshiftS3Role
