Running `quilt3 catalog` launches a webserver on your local machine using Docker and a Python microservice that supplies temporary AWS credentials to the catalog. Temporary credentials are derived from your default AWS credentials (or active `AWS_PROFILE`) using `boto3.sts.get_session_token`. For more details about configuring and using AWS credentials in `boto3`, see the AWS documentation: ### Previewing files in S3 The Quilt catalog allows users to preview files in S3 without downloading. It relies on a API Gateway and AWS Lambda to generate certain previews in the cloud. The catalog launched by `quilt3 catalog` sends preview requests to . Preview requests contain short-lived signed URLs generated using your AWS credentials. Data is encrypted in transit and no data is retained by Quilt. Nevertheless, it is recommended that you use `quilt3 catalog` only for public data. We strongly encourage users with sensitive data in S3 to run a private Quilt deployment.
