How to Create an S3 bucket in AWS 

A bucket is a fundamental concept in AWS S3. To store anything in S3, you have to do so via a bucket. In this short blog, we will guide you on how you can create an S3 bucket in AWS. 

However, before we move to the meat of the matter, some basics first. Let’s start! 

What Is an AWS S3 Bucket?
