Have you had trouble creating an S3 bucket with AWS? Well, this tutorial is here to help you. We will go through a step by step procedure on how to create AWS buckets and how to upload files in them so be keen and follow along.
1. Log in to your console and go to left navigation panel
Once you log into your console, go to the left navigation panel and look for storage. It will bring another navigation panel and choose the S3 option.
2. Create a bucket
A new page opens once you choose the S3 option. Since objects stored in S3 are in buckets, you will have to create a bucket.
3. Fill in necessary bucket information
When you create a bucket you are prompted to fill in the necessary information about the buckets.
First you will name the bucket. Make sure the name is unique so that it does not match any other buckets in the system.
Next is to choose the bucket ownership. This is to determine who can access the objects stored in your bucket.
After that is block public access settings for your bucket. If you chose ACL disabled in the previous step, the block public access setting will be automatically checked off.
After that, the rest are automatically determined by AWS so we will leave them like that.
Making sure all the required fields are filled, proceed to create a bucket.
When the bucket is created successfully, you will see the notification as shown below.
4. Uploading files to your bucket.
To be able to upload files to your bucket, click on the specific bucket and once the bucket information loads up, click the upload button.
You can choose to upload a file or a folder to your bucket, so pick whichever you want and upload.
Once it has successfully uploaded, it will direct you to the upload status page where you can see which file you uploaded and details about it.
You will also be able to see the URL of the object you uploaded and you can view the object using the URLs provided from any device.
Congratulations, you have now learnt how to create a bucket and upload files to your bucket.
