How to create S3 bucket and configure S3 Storage for SureMDM On-Premise?

When it comes to SureMDM On-Premise, the SureMDM App Store and File Store cannot be used without configuring AWS S3 or FTP Storage. As SureMDM On-Premise is hosted directly in your own server, it is really important for the admins to set the storage based on the deployment scenario.

To set and configure the SureMDM On-Premise Storage in S3, the S3 bucket must be created first. Follow below steps to create the bucket.

Steps to create an S3 bucket:

  • Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon S3 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/.
  • Choose Create bucket.
  • In the Bucket name field, type a unique DNS-compliant name for new bucket.

NOTE:


  • The example screenshot below uses the bucket name myawsbucket as shown above. The name must be unique and it cannot be deleted once created. So, choose the name which denotes the content of the bucket as the bucket name will be visible in the URL.


  • For Region, choose US West (Oregon) as the Region where you want the bucket to reside.
  • Select Object Ownership as ACLs disabled(recommended)
  • Then select the option Block all public access under Block Public Access settings for this bucket and choose Disable Bucket Versioning
  • Choose Disable under Server-side Encryption and click Create Bucket
  • After the bucket has been created with the above steps, it is required to select the bucket and set the appropriate CORS policy. Follow the steps mentioned in this document to configure the policies.
