2.1 - Create an S3 Multi-Region Access Point

  • In the left-hand navigation, choose Multi-Region Access Points.
  • Then, select Create Multi-Region Access Point.

2.2 - Name your access point and add buckets

  • Select Add buckets, and choose the buckets you created in Step 1.
    • Notes: 
      • You can add new or existing buckets to a new Multi-Region Access Point, but no more than one per Region, and you can’t add remove buckets from a Multi-Region Access Point after it’s created.
      • The recommended setting of Block all Public Access is enabled by default.
      • You can also add buckets from other accounts. Read this blog for more details.

2.4- Complete creation

  • Select Create Multi-Region Access Point.
    • Note: Multi-Region Access Points typically take less than 10 minutes to create, depending on the number of buckets, but can take up to 24 hours.
  • Wait for its status to show as Ready before proceeding. Refresh the list to see the updated status.
