AWS S3

S3 = Simple Storage Service.   It is like a virtual drive to store and retrieve data.   Files in S3 are stored in buckets ( Buckets are like folders ).   S3 is object-based storage (images, videos, documents etc).   Each bucket name should be unique globally because it will have a unique URL.   Configure buckets in the region nearest to the location that will access them.  

You need an AWS account, and S3 bucket, and you should create an IAM user and generate an access key for that user.   In order to access S3 storage remotely, you will need:

• s3_region
• s3_access_key_id
• s3_secret_access_key

Introduction to Amazon S3

Create AWS IAM user

Users are entities you create in AWS IAM to represent the people or services that interact with AWS resources. These users have a name and security credentials (either a password for console access or access keys for programmatic access).   Login to AWS Management Console and navigate to the IAM service (not IAM Identity Center).   Select 'Users' from the menu, and then 'Create user'.   Set permissions by attaching the 'AmazonS3FullAccess' policy directly (rather than adding the user to one or more IAM groups).   After the user is created, access the user and 'Create access key' with long term credentials of 'Application running outside AWS'.
