3.2 S3 Labs

Your region doesn't matter because S3 is global.

Create a bucket:

Your bucket name should be unique globally and in lower case characters. S3 name space is shared by all users of the AWS. Deleting a bucket cannot be restored (otherwise, there will be a conflict if someone else use same bucket name with the deleted bucket after you deleted it).

Configure your bucket:

• Objects: You can upload new object (file) or create new folders here.

• Properties: You can host a static web site in S3. It means you cannot build a back-end. The scale of your static web site is automatically and its cost is extremely low. There are other properties such as versioning, logging, tags, cross-region replication, events.

• Lifecycle: 30 days age old files can be put into IA, 90 days age old files can be put into Glacier.

• Permissions: Set who is able to access this bucket. Every time you create a new bucket, it is private by default. Any object you upload to the bucket will be also private or inaccessible by default.

• Management: You can do some analytics, metric and inventory.

Configure your object:

• Properties: change your storage class, encryption, metadata or tags for this object.

• Permissions: change your access permissions for this object. There are two parts, Manage Users and Manage Public Permissions. For the Manage Users, there are two columns, "Object" and "Object Permission". The "Object" means you can change the permission of other users to access the content of this object, the "Object Permission" option means you can change the permission of other users to change the permission of this object. You need to configure your Manage Public Permissions if you want everyone in the Internet can see your object (For example, your static web pages).
