Amazon S3 Basics
Getting Started with Amazon Simple
Storage Service
Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is storage for the Internet You can use Amazon S3 to
store and retrieve any amount of data at any time from anywhere on the web You can accomplish
these tasks using the AWS Management Console which is a simple and intuitive web interface This
guide introduces you to Amazon S3 and how to use the AWS Management Console to complete the
tasks shown in the following figure
For information on Amazon S3 features pricing and to see the FAQ go to the Amazon S3 product
page
Amazon S3 Basics
To get the most out of Amazon S3 you need to understand a few simple concepts Amazon S3 stores
data as objects within buckets An object consists of a file and optionally any metadata that describes
that file
To store an object in Amazon S3 you upload the file you want to store to a bucket When you upload a
file you can set permissions on the object as well as any metadata
Buckets are the containers for objects You can have one or more buckets For each bucket you
can control access to it (who can create delete and list objects in the bucket) view access logs for
it and its objects and choose the geographical region where Amazon S3 will store the bucket and its
contents
When using the AWS Management Console you can create folders to group objects and you can nest
folders (create folders within folders) If you have used the Amazon S3 API or other utilities you can
learn some important aspects about how folders work with other grouping conventions in the Amazon
Simple Storage Service Console User Guide

API Version 20060301
2Amazon Simple Storage Service Getting Started Guide
Create a Bucket
Now that you＇ve signed up for Amazon S3 you＇re ready to create a bucket using the AWS
Management Console Every object in Amazon S3 is stored in a bucket Before you can store data in
Amazon S3 you must create a bucket
Note
You are not charged for creating a bucket you are charged only for storing objects in the
bucket and for transferring objects in and out of the bucket The charges you will incur through
following the examples in this guide are minimal (less than 1) For more information go to
Amazon S3 Pricing
To create a bucket
1 Sign into the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon S3 console at https
consoleawsamazoncoms3
2 Click Create Bucket
3 In the Create a Bucket dialog box in the Bucket Name box enter a bucket name
The bucket name you choose must be unique across all existing bucket names in Amazon
S3 One way to help ensure uniqueness is to prefix your bucket names with the name of your
organization Bucket names must comply with certain rules For more information see Bucket
Restrictions and Limitations in the Amazon Simple Storage Service Developer Guide
API Version 20060301
3Amazon Simple Storage Service Getting Started Guide
Note
After you create a bucket you cannot change its name In addition the bucket name is
visible in the URL that points to the objects stored in the bucket Ensure that the bucket
name you choose is appropriate
4 In the Region box select a region For this exercise select Oregon from the dropdown list
You can choose a region to optimize latency minimize costs or address regulatory requirements
Objects stored in a region never leave that region unless you explicitly transfer them to another
region For more information about regions see Accessing a Bucket in the Amazon Simple
Storage Service Developer Guide
5 Click Create
When Amazon S3 successfully creates your bucket the console displays your empty bucket in the
Buckets panel
You＇ve created a bucket in Amazon S3
