AWS Configuration Within AWS, you need to do 2 things
Create a bucket within the S3 service
Create an IAM User to get a Key/Secret Key
and then attach a Policy to that user that allows access to the S3 API. Like anything in AWS, creating a bucket in S3 involves looking at a ton of configuration options and wondering if you need any of them. For most use cases, you don't! Head to the S3 console, create a bucket name (it has to be globally unique, not just unique to your AWS account), choose the region you operate in, and leave all the defaults (including the ones that labeled "Block Public Access settings for this bucket"). Yes, some of these options are ones you may want to use, but you can choose them later. After creating a bucket, we need permission to do things to it. Let's pretend we created a bucket named "my-awesome-bucket". We can create an IAM User, select "programmatic access", but don't attach any policies or setup anything else. Make sure to record the secret access key, as they'll only show it once.
