Managing S3 Buckets and IAM

Learn to provision and configure S3 storage buckets and manage AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) resources with Terraform.

S3 & Terraform: Cloud Storage

Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) offers highly scalable, durable, and available object storage. It's perfect for backups, static websites, and data archiving.

Managing S3 buckets with Terraform brings several benefits:

Automation: Create and configure buckets programmatically.
Version Control: Track changes to your bucket configurations.
Consistency: Ensure all environments have identical S3 setups.

Your First S3 Bucket

Let's define a simple S3 bucket. The aws_s3_bucket resource is used for this.

Bucket names must be globally unique across all AWS accounts. Choose a unique name!

Try running this example:

resource "aws_s3_bucket" "my_unique_bucket" {
  bucket = "my-coddykit-unique-bucket-12345" # Replace with a globally unique name
}

output "bucket_id" {
  value = aws_s3_bucket.my_unique_bucket.id
}
