Set up an Amazon S3 bucket for PlayFab event archiving
This article describes how to set up an Amazon S3 bucket so that you can archive your PlayFab events to it.
Setting up Amazon S3 bucket
Once you create an Amazon account:
- Navigate to Services.
- Select S3.
- The S3 page contains an overview of all your buckets.
- Select the Create bucket button to create a new bucket.
To create your new S3 bucket, you must go through a four-step wizard:

- When you're done, select the Next button.
You'll be offered the option of adding Versioning, Logging, and Tags for your Bucket.
- Select the Next button when you're done.

In order to archive events, you will need to give PlayFab access to the bucket on your behalf. This is done with an Access Key.
- Double-check that you have your newly created bucket in the list of S3 services.
- Select your account Name in the top right corner.
- Then select My Security Credentials, as shown in the drop-down menu below.
- Locate the Access Key list.
- Select the Create New Access Key button.
