How do I create an S3 Bucket?

Before you can upload data to Amazon S3, you must create a bucket in one of the AWS Regions to store your data. After you create a bucket, you can upload an unlimited number of data objects to the bucket.


To create a bucket

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon S3 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/.

  1. If the admin is new to AWS then click on the Create a new AWS account. User will be navigated to the AWS Console Sign Up page. Enter the required details in the form.

  1. After you are successfully logged in, Click on S3, It will take you directly to the bucket page.

 

  1. Choose Create bucket.


The Create bucket wizard will open.


Note:- In Bucket name, enter a DNS-compliant name for your bucket.

The bucket name must:

  • Be unique across all of Amazon S3.

  • Be between 3 and 63 characters long.

  • Not contain uppercase characters.

  • Start with a lowercase letter or number.


  1. Copy the bucket and region name to which admin wants to upload the Screenshot.Paste it in the notepad.

 Go to Amazon Web Services console and click on the name of your account (it is located in the top right corner of the console). Then, in the expanded drop-down list, select Security Credentials.



  1.  Click the Continue to Security Credentials button.


  1. Expand the Access Keys (Access Key ID and Secret Access Key) option. You will see the list of your active and deleted access keys.


Note: You cannot retrieve the existing secret key. You can see the secret key only once immediately after creating. So, in order to get a secret key, you will need to create a new one.


  1. To generate new access keys, click the Create New Access Key button.


  1. Click Show Access Key to have it displayed on the screen. Note, that you can download it to your machine as a file and open it whenever needed. To download it, just click the Download Key File button.



Attention! If you do not write down the key or download the key file to your computer before you press "Close" or "Cancel" you will not be able to retrieve the secret key in future. Then you'll have to delete the keys which you created and start to create new keys.


  1. Enter the Access Key ID, Secret Access Key, Bucket name and Region in the EMP dashboard.
