It ensures that if the default endpoint is changed to a new region, data store in US-east is still reachable. +## <a name="accesspoints"></a>Configuring S3 AccessPoints usage with S3a +S3a now supports [S3 Access Point](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/features/access-points/) usage which +improves VPC integration with S3 and simplifies your data's permission model because different +policies can be applied now on the Access Point level. For more information about why to use them +make sure to read the official documentation. + +Accessing data through an access point, is done by using its ARN, as opposed to just the bucket name. +You can set the Access Point ARN property using the following configuration property: +```xml +<property> + <name>fs.s3a.accesspoint.arn</name> + <value> {ACCESSPOINT_ARN_HERE} </value> + <description>Configure S3a traffic to use this AccessPoint</description> +</property> +``` + +Be mindful that this configures **all access** to S3a, and in turn S3, to go through that ARN. +So for example `s3a://yourbucket/key` will now use your configured ARN when getting data from S3 +instead of your bucket. The flip side to this is that if you're working with multiple buckets +`s3a://yourbucket` and `s3a://yourotherbucket` both of their requests will go through the same +Access Point ARN. To configure different Access Point ARNs, per bucket overrides can be used with +access point names instead of bucket names as such: + +- Let's assume you have an existing workflow with the following paths `s3a://data-bucket`, +`s3a://output-bucket` and you want to work with a new Access Point called `finance-accesspoint`.
