Refer to the following guide to learn how to use IAM in the cloud\ <https://scribehow.com/shared/Creating_an_IAM_User_and_User_Group_in_AWS_Management_Console__hWNiiXlcRJKFqYZZEJD-cg>

Sign in to **AWS Management Console** as an **IAM User** **Pre-requisite** - Ensure you have selected the AWS region closest to your location\ For this guide, we will be using us-east-2 (Ohio) as a preferred choice

Type **S3** in the search bar and click on **S3** to view the S3 Dashboard

**What is Amazon S3?** Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is a scalable object storage service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It is designed to store and retrieve any amount of data from anywhere on the web. S3 offers high availability, durability, and security for data storage needs.

On the S3 dashboard, Under the **General purpose buckets** section click on the Name **my-aws-bucket-in28minutes**

Refer to the following guide to learn how to create S3 Bucket<https://scribehow.com/shared/Creating_an_S3_Bucket_and_Exploring_the_UI__0TFMdpbkQvS6jOisdkQjeA>

**my-aws-bucket-in28minutes** wizard will open, click on the **Permissions** tab

Scroll to the **Object Lock** section

**What is Object lock?** Object lock in Amazon S3 is like a vault for your data. It prevents accidental or malicious deletion and overwrites, ensuring your information remains secure and unchangeable for a set period or indefinitely.

Click on **Edit** button

**Edit Object Lock** wizard will open, under the Object lock section select the **Enable** option to enable the Object Lock

Object Lock works on only versioned buckets, so the existing bucket is not versioned we are creating a new bucket by enabling versioning

You can Edit the Object Lock while creating the S3 Bucket. On the left bar click on the **Buckets** to view S3 Buckets

**Amazon S3** wizard will open, click on the **Create bucket** button on the right side

Create bucket wizard will open, scroll to the **Advanced settings** section and select the option **Enable** Here you can edit the **Object Lock**

On **my-aws-bucket-in28minutes** wizard, scroll to the **Tags** section

Click on the **Edit** button on the right side

**Edit bucket tagging** wizard will open, click on the **Add tag** button

Provide the Key as "**Environment**" and Value as "**Dev**" and click on the **Save changes** button

On **my-aws-bucket-in28minutes** wizard, scroll to the **Transfer acceleration** section

**What is Transfer Acceleration?** Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration (S3TA) is a service specifically designed to dramatically enhance the speed of data transfers between your devices and Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) buckets.

Click on the **Edit** button on the right side

**Edit transfer acceleration** wizard will open, under the Transfer acceleration section select the **Enable** option

You can find the Accelerated endpoint here, click on the **Save changes** button to save

On **my-aws-bucket-in28minutes** wizard, scroll to the **Requester pays** section

**What is Requester pays?** Requester Pays is a cost allocation mechanism that shifts the responsibility for data transfer charges from the bucket owner (the one storing the data) to the requester (the one accessing the data).

Click on the **Edit** button on the right side

**Edit requester pays** wizard will open, under the Requester pays section, select the **Enable** option to enable it

**For what purpose are Request pays utilized in AWS?** Requester Pays in S3 lets you make data downloaders pay, not the owner. Enable it with a bucket policy in the console or CLI. To disable it, just remove the policy. Remember, those accessing your data will need a billing project ID set to avoid being charged.
