How to do it...

We will use the S3 module for creating an empty bucket with public read permission, and then we will store our file as a data object in that bucket:

1. To create an S3 bucket, do the following:

#Creating an empty s3 bucket 
- name: Creating S3 bucket  s3:    bucket: my_first_bucket    mode: create    permission: public-read 
  tags: 
   - recipe3 

2. Put the object in the S3 bucket:

#Putting object 
- name: Put object in S3 bucket  s3:    bucket: my_first_bucket    object: /location/of/text.txt    src: file.txt    mode: put 
  tags: 
   - recipe3 

3. Get the object:

#Retrieving an object 
- name: Get object 
  s3:    bucket: my_first_bucket    object: /location/of/text.txt    dest: file.txt    mode: get 
  tags: 
   - recipe3
