Hi, anyone know if there is a plan to support S3 for pipelines (beta), currently only R2 is sopported, I wanted to try it out with our Confluent Kafka, but they don't support R2 only AWS s3. From what I undersand Pipelines are similar to Firehose, But I would prefer to stay on Cloudfalre.

Eventually we'll offer more sinks - does the Kafka S3 connector not support S3-compliant APIs/endpoints?

Hi @Marc thank you for reply, unfortunately no, the plugin is only for AWS S3, they have separate plugins for Google, azure, but no R2 I’m currently in talks with Confluent they have hadrcoded our R2 endpoint, but no luck passing authentication, so we are back and forth of testing it

hmm I find that odd - standby going to try something can you share the kafka connector config you tried with? (can be anaonymized of course) oh are you talking about Tiered Storage or Kafka Connect? I should have asked first

Hi @Marc The above URL is for S3 Sink and they do support custom S3 provider like R2. But Sink is from Kafka -> S3/R2 What we are looking for is R2 Source. and there is no way to change the endpoint

Are you self-managing the connector? Out of the box you can specify the store.url which should work - but if you're using the Confluent Cloud managed version it does not allow for a custom endpoint https://docs.confluent.io/kafka-connectors/s3-source/current/configuration_options.html
