2. Enter AWS credentials:

• You will be prompted to enter the credentials needed to connect to your AWS account.

Enter the bucket name:

The bucket name will appear in the list of buckets in the console. If you don’t have a bucket, you can create one by clicking "Create bucket," assigning a unique name, and following the setup steps.

Select the AWS region:

• In the Region field, select the AWS region you want to connect to, for example: us-west-2, us-east-1, eu-west-1, etc.
• Note: It’s important to select the correct region, as AWS resources may be distributed across different regions.

Configure access credentials:

• Access Key ID: Enter the Access Key ID for your AWS account. You can obtain this from the AWS Management Console under the IAM (Identity and Access Management) section.

• Secret Access Key: Enter the Secret Access Key associated with the Access Key ID. If you don't have it, you can generate a new access key in the AWS Console under the IAM section.

3. Test the connection:

• Click the "Test Connection" button to verify that the connection to AWS has been established correctly.
• If the test is successful, the system will enable additional configuration options.

4. Create the connection:

• Finally, click the "Create Destination" button to establish the connection to AWS.
