Creating an S3 Bucket#

S3 is an online cloud object storage and retrieval service. Instead of data being associated with a server, S3 storage is server-independent and can be accessed over the internet. Data stored in S3 is managed as objects using an Application Programming Interface (API) that is accessible via the internet (HTTPS).
