Amazon S3 - Create bucket
Declaration
<AMAWSS3 ACTIVITY="create_bucket" PROVIDER="text (options)" SESSION="text" ACCESSKEY="text" SECRETKEY="text (encrypted)" PROTOCOL="https" USERAGENT="text" MAXERRORRETRY="number" SERVICEURL="text" PROXYHOST="text" PROXYPORT="number" PROXYUSER="text" PROXYPWD="text (options)" BUCKETNAME="text"><HEADER NAME="text" VALUE="text" /></AMAWSS3>
Description
Creates and names a new Amazon S3 Bucket. Buckets are the primary containers
in Amazon S3 used for object storage. You can store all of your objects
in a single bucket or organize them across several buckets. The number
of objects that can be stored in a bucket is limitless.
IMPORTANT: The Amazon S3 activities
are performed using Amazon's Simple Storage Service engine, therefore,
launching and operating Amazon S3 through Automate Desktop requires a
valid Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.
Practical usage
Creates a new Amazon S3 Bucket. Other Amazon S3-related steps can follow this step,
such as Put object(s), Get object(s), or Copy object(s).
Parameters
Connection
Connection |
--- |
--- |
--- |
--- |
Indicates
where AWS user credentials and preferences should originate from.
This is a design mode parameter used only during task construction
and configuration, thus, comprises no markup. The available options
are:- Host (default)- Specifies
that user credentials and advanced preferences are configured
individually for this activity. This option is normally chosen
if only a single activity is required to complete an operation.
- Session - Specifies that
user credentials and advanced preferences are obtained
from a pre-configured session created in an earlier step with the use of the Amazon S3
- Create session activity. This option is normally chosen
if a combination of related activities are required to complete
an operation. Linking several activities to a single session
eliminates redundancy. Additionally, a single task supports
construction and simultaneous execution of multiple sessions, improving
efficiency.

Connection - Session
Session |
Text |
Yes,
if Connection is set to Session |
EC2Session1 |
SESSION="S3Session1"
|
The
name of an existing session to attach this activity to. This parameter
is active only if the Connection
parameter is set to Session.
The default session name is S3Session1. |
Connection - Host > Credentials
Access key |
Text |
Yes,
if Connection is set to Host |
(Empty) |
ACCESSKEY="022QF06E7MXBSH9DHM02"
|
A
20-character alphanumeric string that uniquely identifies the
owner of the AWS service account, similar to a username. This
key along with a corresponding secret access key forms a secure
information set that AWS uses to confirm a valid user's identity.
This parameter is active only if the
Connection parameter is set to Host. |
Secret access key |
Text |
Yes,
if Connection is set to Host |
(Empty) |
SECRETKEY="text (encrypted)"
|
A
40-character string that serves the role as password to access
the AWS service account. This along with an associated access
key forms a secure information set that EC2 uses to confirm a
valid user's identity. This parameter is active only if the Connection parameter is set
to Host. |

Protocol |
Text
(options) |
No |
HTTP |
PROTOCOL="HTTPS"
|
The
protocol required. The available options are: |
User
agent |
Text |
No |
Automate |
USERAGENT="Automate"
|
The
name of the client or application initiating requests to AWS,
which in this case, is Automate Desktop. This parameter's default value
is Automate. |
Service URL |
Text |
No |
(Empty) |
SERVICEURL="https://s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com"
|
The
URL that provides the service endpoint. To make the service call
to a different region, you can pass the region-specific endpoint
URL. For example, entering https://s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com
points to US West (Northern California) region. A complete list
of S3 regions, along with associated endpoints and valid protocols
can be found below under Amazon S3 regions and endpoints . |
Maximum number of retries on error |
Number |
No |
(Empty) |
MAXERRORRETRY="4"
|
The
total amount of times this activity should retry its request to
the server before returning an error. Network components can generate
errors anytime in the life of a request, thus, implementing retries
can increase reliability. |
Proxy host |
Text |
No |
(Empty) |
PROXYHOST="proxy.host.com"
|
The
hostname (for example, server.domain.com) or IP address (for example, 192.168.0.100)

HEADER NAME="myHeader"
|
Specifies
the "key" in a key-value pair. This is the handle that
you assign to an object. Automate Desktop lets you store your personal
information as custom headers, such as Name, Address, City, State,
Phone Number, etc, so that you can distinguish specific buckets.
Using this parameter, you can add new custom headers to existing
Amazon S3 objects, edit default S3 headers or create new objects with
custom headers. Press Click here
to add new row... to add a key-value pair. Press the red
X to remove an existing
key-value pair. |
Value |
Text |

Specifies
the "value" in a key-value pair. This is the content
that you are storing for an object. Automate Desktop lets you store your
personal information as custom headers, such as Name, Address,
City, State, Phone Number, etc, so that you can distinguish specific
buckets. Using this parameter, you can add new custom headers
to existing Amazon S3 objects, edit default S3 headers or created new
buckets with custom headers. Press Click
