About this task

This section provides the high-level steps to create an Amazon S3 bucket storage for Media Manager use. It can use this as its primary storage and/or as archive connector storage.

  2. Select Create bucket.
  3. In Bucket Name, enter a DNS compliant name for your bucket.
    Note:

    Provide access to the following bucket operations for accessing the bucket:

    • GetObject

    • PutObject

    • DeleteObject

    • GetBucketLocation
