Creating a New S3 Bucket in AWS

You will need an S3 bucket that contains the Lightbits logs and configuration information. It is best to create this bucket specifically for your testing/workloads.

1. Navigate to the AWS console and search for s3, and click the S3 entry.

2. Click Create bucket.

3. Give your bucket a name. This must be globally unique (in all of AWS, not just Lightbits). You can use a name such as test_workload_name-internal-lightbits-deployment-bucket, for example.

Make sure you set the AWS Region to the region that you will be using to run the test.

4. Keep every other setting as the defaults, scroll down, and click Create bucket.

5. Ensure that the bucket has been created successfully.
