AWS - Create S3 Bucket and Upload/Download a File

In the last blog post I showed you how to terminate an EC2 instance:


In this blog I will be showing you how to create an S3 bucket and then how to upload a file to it and download it.





Click Services then click S3

Click Create Bucket

Give your bucket a unique name and choose the region it will be hosted in. You want to choose a region closest to where the users geographically are located

Leave the default Block All Public Access check box checked and click Advanced Settings to review

Choose if you want to enable or disable object lock then click Create Bucket

You will see a message that your bucket has been created, click your bucket name to open it

Click Upload

Click Add Files

Choose a file to upload, I chose a test text file, then click Open

Click Next

Review the permissions and click Next

Choose your bucket type, I recommend Standard for this tutorial then click Next

Click Upload

Click the file you uploaded earlier

Click Download

This concludes the tutorial. You can now open the test file you downloaded from your S3 bucket. Join me in the next blog post where we will continue to explore AWS.
