Tips

  • Each bucket's name has to be unique globally, across every single bucket in the world.
  • Try to get the URL for the object you uploaded in this task and access it using a browser, you should get an access denied error
  • Do not store sensitive information in a bucket that has public access.
  • Do not turn on versioning on this bucket, it will be difficult to delete.
