    Overview

    AWS Access Key Integration allows the Dataloop platform to securely connect with AWS services using access keys. This integration enables seamless interaction with AWS resources, allowing for automated data transfers, processing, and management tasks.

    3. Click Create bucket. The Create Bucket page is displayed.
    4. Provide a Bucket name.
    5. Select your AWS region from the list.
    6. Ensure you block public access settings for this bucket - Block all public access.
    7. For all other optional settings, use the default values.
    8. Click Create bucket. A confirmation message is displayed.

    For a step-by-step guide on creating an S3 bucket in AWS, see Creating a bucket.
