Creating a bucket

A bucket is a top-level container for your objects. Creating one takes a moment.

Your buckets in the console

Create a bucket

  1. In the console, open the Buckets menu.

  2. Enter a unique bucket name.

  3. Enable or disable Object Lock. Object Lock keeps objects write-once; leave it off if you do not need immutability, and turn it on to protect objects from being changed or deleted.

  4. Select Create.
