# Amazon S3 destination

> This page explains how to set up an Amazon S3 destination.

[Amazon S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/) (Simple Storage Service) is a scalable, secure, and highly durable cloud storage solution for storing and retrieving data.

To set up an Amazon S3 destination:

1. In AWS, ensure the AWS Policy contains the statements required to perform a `PutObject` operation. For more information, see the AWS documentation on [policies and permissions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies.html), [access keys](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_access-keys.html), and the [`PutObject` operation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_PutObject.html).
2. In Axiom, create an Amazon S3 destination. For more information, see [Manage destinations](/process-data/destinations/manage-destinations).
3. Configure the following:
   * **Access key ID**. For more information on access keys, see the [Amazon documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_access-keys.html).
   * **Secret access key**. For more information on access keys, see the [Amazon documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_access-keys.html).
   * In **Region**, select the bucket region. For more information on bucket properties, see the [Amazon documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/view-bucket-properties.html).
   * In **Bucket**, enter the bucket name. For more information on bucket properties, see the [Amazon documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/view-bucket-properties.html).
   * Optional: In **Format**, specify the format in which Axiom sends data to the destination.
