Procedure
-
Select file list restriction: Choose whether the bucket’s file list should be restricted or visible. The visibility of a bucket’s file list does not affect the visibility of the files themselves. You can change the visibility of the file list at any time after it has been created.
-
Choose a unique name for your bucket: The bucket name forms part of its endpoint URL and cannot be changed once the bucket has been created. Names must:
-
To be unique amongst all users across all regions.
-
Be between 3 and 63 characters long.
-
Contains only lower-case letters, numbers and hyphens.
Avoid using personally identifiable data or other private information in bucket names, as these are not typically encrypted in client-side designs.
- Create a bucket: Once you have selected your settings, click on “Create a S3 Bucket”. This will take you to the “Files” tab of the newly created bucket, which displays the files and folders in its root directory.
Once created, a bucket’s ‘Settings’ page displays its endpoint, which is used to configure third-party clients. The index page displays its name, size and creation date.
