In order to add domains to an AWS Route 53 domain list, a S3 bucket, and a simple text file are required. The file acts as an interim location, allowing for the transferring of IOC data sourced from the TIDE API, into the domain list that has been specified. In order to create an S3 bucket and file, perform the following steps:

1. Input **S3** into the *search bar* located at the top of the AWS interface.
