4.3-Creating the S3 bucket

Let's create the storage space for our parameters and scripts : an S3 bucket.

KEEP IT PRIVATE !! KEEP IT PRIVATE !! KEEP IT PRIVATE !! KEEP IT PRIVATE !!

👆 Do you need me to repeat, or is that clear enough ?👆

So let's go to the S3 console (S3 is in the Storage section on the main console listing all services) :

You can guess 🙄 : we'll click the blue "Create bucket" button for another 4-steps process...

Step 1 : Give it a name, which must conform to some name restrictions, and be unique (if warnings/errors show up, you'll need to change the name before continuing further), check the region.

You can choose any name of your liking.

The "configuration name" will have sub-folders named after it inside this bucket later on.

Then hit "Next" (to step 2)...

Step 2 : let's NOT use any option and simply click "Next" (to step 3)...

👇 If you already forgot... 👇

KEEP IT PRIVATE !! KEEP IT PRIVATE !! KEEP IT PRIVATE !! KEEP IT PRIVATE !!

Step 3 : Let's keep the security tight and "Block all public access" as is the default !

Then hit "Next" (to step 4)...

A quick review of our choices, then click "Create bucket"...

Our bucket is ready

...and here is your own private bucket, reporting for duty !
