AWS S3 - Simple Storage Service by Amazon

AWS S3 - Simple Storage Service

Amazon S3 can be used to store and retrieve any amount of data at any time, from anywhere on the web all around the globe.

Let’s talk about how to create a bucket in S3 (or simple words, a folder in S3):

Step 1: To navigate to S3. In Find Services look for S3, as shown in the below screenshot.

Step 2: Click on Create bucket. You will get to stage one which is Name and region. Pick a name and it should be unique across all of the S3 platform. Click next.

Step 3: On the next screen, we get configuration options where we can select different properties such as Versioning, Tags, etc. We will leave the rest of it as default and click next.

Step 4: The Third screen is "Set Permissions". By default, all public access is restricted. We will leave it at that and move on to review.

Step 5: The Last window before we create the bucket is "Review", here is where we can check if everything looks good. Click "Create bucket" to create the bucket.

Bucket Created as shown below.
