Writing a File to an S3 Bucket
In order to write a file from an S3 file a filename, including path, and an object that represents the contents of the filebucket you need to provide a File Name (including any path) and a File Contents Source:
The File Name value can be provided by a literal, schema value or public variable. The file is created on each write and will overwrite any existing file without creating an error. It is therefore suggested that a unique identifier is used to create the filename. Often buckets contain many thousands of small objects rather than one large file - most third party data loading processes are happy to process a large number of small files.
...
There is currently no way to list all of the files in a bucket - but this is something that we plan to add. A sample use case may be to have a stream of file names that require to be processed and the file reader procesisng processing those files.

If for some reason the Kitewheel hub application gets into an unexpected state then you might see an image that looks like this. A similar to the ones below. For the first one, a reload of the page (app) will usually allow you to continue without encountering other problems. For the second, navigate to a different area (without reloading) will usually allow you to continue.
If you do see an error message like this then there is usually a meaningful error that we have printed in the browser console. If you know how to get to your browser console then please send us a screenshot of what you see to support@kitewheel.com as this will make it easier for us to diagnose the problem.
As part of this upgrade we have improved the color chooser to make it easier to use and to interact better with the local operating system. This is an example of the color chooser used to add some color when creating a tag:

A remote engine stack is any engine configuration that is not the default engine configuration for the Kitewheel Hub. This includes dedicated production stacks within the Kitewheel AWS environment but also in remote AWS and Azure environments that are managed by Kitewheel. Remote engine stacks are used for production workloads to provide dedicated throughput and security for connection to on-premise or other cloud environments. If you are interested in using a remote stack for these purposes please speak to your Kitewheel account manager.

Synchronization Control
In this release we have improved the way that templates synchronise between different Kitewheel and dedicated partner OEM hubs. This makes the process more robust and gives a much finer level of control on how templates and managed graphs are distributed.
