We are using Dell EMC infrastructure, but we have successfully authenticated to it from the Dashboard using the AWS S3 authentication type, so it would be great if you could just open up the possibility of connecting to internal S3 using this type if desired without having to implement all the different provider auth mechanisms?

Thank you for taking the time to raise this request, which we are moving to the status of Future Consideration. For the benefit of future readers, it would be good to know which specific S3 provider is preferred. Unfortunately although S3 is fairly well established in the industry now, there is no neutral implementation standard defined. The key difference between most S3 provider implementations is the authentication mechanism - every provider typically deploys their own auth mechanism which is why we currently have only pursued support for AWS and IBM - although there can also be client API differences too. This is something we would like to address in future and the business priority which is applied will depend on community feedback.
