# 4.3-Creating the S3 bucket

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

{% hint style="danger" %}
**KEEP IT PRIVATE !!   KEEP IT PRIVATE !!   KEEP IT PRIVATE !!   KEEP IT PRIVATE !!**  &#x20;
{% endhint %}

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

You can guess :rolling\_eyes: : 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.**

{% hint style="info" %}
**You can choose any name of your liking.**

The "**configuration name**" will have sub-folders named after it inside this bucket later on.
{% endhint %}

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

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

:point\_down: <img src="https://681104499-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LhjKavWMofrik61tHfB%2F-LiyFgAxpvWv_r4_PcTv%2F-LiyFw54lDxzKA13Rtxr%2Fzeferby_dino_64.png?alt=media&#x26;token=cf4fcffe-9c85-49c6-bb2b-022af72fda07" alt="" data-size="line"> _If you already forgot..._ :point\_down:&#x20;

{% hint style="danger" %}
**KEEP IT PRIVATE !!   KEEP IT PRIVATE !!   KEEP IT PRIVATE !!   KEEP IT PRIVATE !!**  &#x20;
{% endhint %}

**Step 3 :** Let's **keep the security tight** and "**Block&#x20;**_**all**_**&#x20;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](https://681104499-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LhjKavWMofrik61tHfB%2F-Lj-w7eQuCROuH9v_Jgf%2F-Lj00xBj2VwEJ97Te0k7%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=bed90ffd-999b-43f6-84f3-be3167e7a3d7)

{% hint style="success" %}
**...and here is your own&#x20;**_**private**_**&#x20;bucket, reporting for duty !**
{% endhint %}
