In this tutorial, we’ll learn how to interact with the Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) storage system programmatically from Java.

Prerequisites

1. AWS Account: You need an AWS account to create an S3 bucket and get access keys.

2. Java Development Kit (JDK): Ensure you have JDK 8 or higher installed.

3. Spring Boot: A basic understanding of Spring Boot.

4. AWS SDK for Java: We'll use this to interact with AWS S3.

Steps

1. Create an S3 Bucket:

• Log in to your AWS Management Console.
• Navigate to S3 and create a new bucket (e.g., my-spring-boot-bucket).

2. Get AWS Credentials:

• Go to IAM (Identity and Access Management) in AWS.
• Create a new user with programmatic access and assign AmazonS3FullAccess policy.
• Save the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.
