Dell EMC PowerProtect DDVE on Amazon Web Services 7.9 Installation and Administration Guide

Create an S3 bucket

1. Log in to the AWS console. Select Services > S3.
2. Click Create bucket and enter a bucket name and region for your installation.
   NOTE Observe these requirements when creating a bucket for DDVE use:
   • To access an S3 bucket, AWS recommends using hosted-style URLs (where domain name includes the bucket name) instead of path-style URLs. For hosted-style URLs to work, do not use dots (".") in the bucket name.
   • Create the bucket in the same region as the DDVE instance.
   • Provide a bucket name that is no longer than 48 characters.
   • Do not enable bucket versioning for the bucket that is associated with the DDVE for these reasons:
     • Versioning adds to storage costs because older versions of the objects are retained despite running the DDVE garbage collection process.
     • Enabling versioning can also cause potential performance issues.
3. When required fields are completed, click the Create Bucket button. See this example:
   

   NOTE Do not set up life-cycle rules for this bucket. Life-cycle rules could cause loss of critical data from the object store.
