Setting up the S3 bucket

This project needs one S3 bucket. The example in the following steps creates an S3 bucket named "my-aws-lambda-guardduty". The example uses the bucket name in some configuration steps. Due to bucket naming limitations in S3, each bucket should have a globally unique name. Therefore, your bucket should have a different name than the example's. Write down your bucket name, since it is used in other configuration steps.

Create the S3 bucket to store the IP block list. In this example, the bucket is named my-aws-lambda-guardduty. This bucket is required to run this project. Although bucket creation is region-specific, once created, the bucket can be accessed from any region. Do not grant the bucket public access permissions. The Lambda function points to this bucket through its S3_BUCKET environment variable.
