Create an S3 Bucket #

Troubleshooting #

Connection Failed #

• Check bucket name
• Verify AWS region
• Confirm IAM permissions

Access Denied (403) #

Ensure your IAM policy contains:

"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::my-bucket/*"

Security Notes #

• Use a dedicated IAM user
• Never use root AWS credentials
• Rotate keys periodically
• Restrict permissions to a single bucket
