Hello there, fellow adventurers of the cloud!

 Are you ready to embark on a new journey 
towards creating your very own AWS S3 bucket? Fear not, for I am here to guide you through this
 exciting process with my cheerful and lively self! 

First things first, let's talk about what S3 actually is. S3 (Simple Storage Service) is a web-based data storage service provided by Amazon Web Services. It allows you to store and retrieve files, documents, images, and videos easily and cost-effectively on the cloud. It is a reliable and scalable storage solution that can help you manage and store any amount of data from anywhere, at any time. In simple terms, it's like having a virtual closet where you can keep your files safe and organized, and access them whenever you need them.

Now, let's get started with creating your own S3 bucket. 

Step 1: Log in to your AWS Management Console

To create an S3 bucket, you will first need to log in to your AWS Management Console. If you do not have an AWS account, don't worry! You can easily create one by following the on-screen instructions.

Step 2: Open the S3 service

Once you have logged in to your AWS Management Console, navigate to the S3 service by clicking 
on the ‘Services’ menu on the top left corner of the screen and selecting ‘S3’ from the list of available services.

Step 3: Click 'Create Bucket'

Now that you are in the S3 service, you will see a blue button labelled ‘Create Bucket’. Clicking on this button will open a new page where you can set up your new bucket.

Step 4: Name your bucket

The first thing you will need to do is give your bucket a unique name. AWS has a global namespace for bucket names, so make sure your name is unique to avoid any conflicts. AWS does not allow uppercase letters.

Step 5: Choose a region

Next, you will need to choose the region where 
you want your S3 bucket to be located.
 We recommend selecting the region closest 
to your users for better performance.


Step 6: Configure options (optional)

AWS also provides you with several configuration 
options such as versioning,
 encryption and object-level logging that you 
can enable as per your requirements.

Step 7: Set permissions

You can also set permissions to your bucket 
based on your access needs. 
AWS provides three different access types - private,
 public-read and public-read-write.
 I recommend private access unless 
there is a specific need to make the bucket public.

Step 8: Review and create

Once you have filled in all the necessary details,
 review everything to make 
sure that you have set up everything correctly. 
Once you're happy, 
click on the 'Create Bucket' button to create your
 S3 bucket. 

Step 9: Upload image 
The essence of creating an AWS s3 bucket is to keep your images save.

Remember that the reason behind AWS s3 bucket is to save useful file, images etc. What is the purpose of saving something in the cloud that is of no relevance?
delete your unused object, check a screenshot of how I did mine below .
