- On step 1 of the form, define the **name of your bucket** (we like to use our company name here)
- Pick the **region** you need (think about GDPR rules, if you're an EU company)

You can keep default options on step 2 and finally confirm your Bucket creation on step 3.

And that's one good thing done, **your Wasabi bucket is created!**
