Helper scripts to quickly build buckets with tidy access rights

Getting started

1. Install AWS command line tool.
   • Mac users can run brew install awscli (provided you have brew).
2. Configure it with aws configure and add access token.
   • Note: We do not yet provide top level credentials to create buckets but soon.
3. Run ./s3-spin-up-a-bucket.sh bucket-name. This will:
   1. Create a user called bucket-name for simplicity.
   2. Give user right to list buckets (not view their contents).
   3. Create bucket called bucket-name.
   4. Add bucket access policy so that user can work within the bucket. Important: All resources within bucket will be downloadable by anyone with a link by default. So, adjust this if you need stricter security.
   5. Create access tokens for the user.
