## File share overview

Klavi adheres to the following core principles to ensure secure and efficient data exchange:

- **Bidirectional Flexibility:** "Sharing" is defined as either a proactive **Push** or an authorized **Pull**.
- **Balanced Architecture:** We evaluate every integration based on a trade-off between **security, compliance, automation,** and **operational complexity**.
- **Security Best Practices:** We prioritize **short-lived tokens** and **controlled interfaces** over long-term credential sharing to minimize the attack surface.

## Integration Patterns

Due to Klavi's infrastructure being hosted on AWS, you may choose one of the following two patterns based on your organization's infrastructure:

### 1.PUSH Pattern (Klavi → Partner)

In this pattern, the data provider actively(Klavi) pushes files into the requester's environment.

- **[AWS Cross-Account PUT](docId\:QNkGfbHAnlOCwUFnzGT1C):** Direct upload to an S3 bucket in a different account using IAM roles.
- **[GCP WIF (Workload Identity Federation)](docId\:ELMFM6HDvfwq5duwiduTN):** Secure, keyless authentication for pushing files to Google Cloud Storage.
- **[Azure SAS URL(Shared Access Signature)](docId\:OrVAcS95qCt7kvbFO8Ysg)**: SAS URL can be compared to AWS S3's pre signed URL, but it is more flexible in terms of permission control.

**The above different patterns are all based on the data provider's (Klavi) infrastructure being AWS.**

### 2. PULL Pattern (Klavi ← Partner)

In this pattern, the requester retrieves files from the provider’s environment using pre-authorized access.

- **[AWS Presigned URL](docId\:Q9dNlQainwOddG83L7_-K):** Temporary, time-limited URLs that grant secure access to specific objects without requiring IAM credentials.
- **[sFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol)](docId\:GQpNgh4oHbtWupk5JddKA):** A traditional, robust method for transferring files over a secure data stream.
