Amazon S3 has a simple web services interface that you can use to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. This blog describes :
- how you can create buckets on S3,
- getting credential keys,
- where should you keep your credential keys.
CREATION OF BUCKET
First of all, you need to sign up in aws S3 after that you need to follow very simple steps:
Step1: Go to Services -> Storage -> S3
Step2: Then click on create bucket button
Step3: Write the unique name and required region according to your need
Step4: Click on the next button
Step5: Repeat step 4
Step6: Repeat step 4
Step7: Click on create bucket button
Step8: We can see that bucket and its objects are not public so change the permission. Open the blog-1 -> click on permissions -> public access settings -> uncheck all the permissions -> save
Step9: Confirm it
Now we can see that objects can be public in the picture below:
GETTING SECURITY CREDENTIALS
Sending any type of request to Amazon S3, you need security credentials of your Amazon S3 account, so follow these steps:
Step1: Go to your <profile-name> -> My Security Credentials
Step2: Click on “Continue to Security credentials” -> Access Keys(access key ID and secret access key)
Step3: Click on “Create Access Key” and download or save your .csv file securely.
WHERE SHOULD YOU KEEP YOUR CREDENTIALS?
Step1: In your home directory, make a new folder name by “.aws”
Step2: Create a new file name by “credentials” in “.aws” folder.
Step3: Keep your credentials in this because by default Amazon finds its security keys at this location only.
