Hi guys, I’m trying create a folder into AWS S3 bucket but I do not have success yet, I’m using that code in Python:
```s3.BucketObject("obj", bucket=bucket.id, source=pulumi.AssetArchive({"folder": pulumi.FileArchive("./segment-logs")}))```
Can someone help me in figure out it?

S3 doesn't have a concept of folders. You have to set the key to be something like `path/to/folder/file.txt`

<@U01FB0HRB2Q> thank you for your feedback, sorry for my wrong terminology but I would like just offer a folder in the provisioning time when I’m creating the AWS S3 bucket, some solutions required that you create an AWS S3 and create a folder together, for example, <https://segment.com/docs/connections/storage/catalog/amazon-s3/>
```...
},
    "Action": "s3:PutObject",
	"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::YOUR_BUCKET_NAME/segment-logs/*"
}
...```
Can you help me in how create that object into my new AWS S3 bucket?

You can't create a folder in the bucket. You create the folder with the object. Let me just work out how to do this in python

So what you'll need to do is loop through the folder containing the files you want to push to S3 and create bucketobjects out of them.

So something like:

```directory=r'./segment-logs'
for entry in os.scandir(directory):
    bucket_object = s3.BucketObject(
        f'file-{entry.name}',
        source=pulumi.FileAsset(entry.path),
        bucket=bucket,
        key=f'segment-logs/{entry.name}'
    )```

note in the `key` I've added a prefix of `segment-logs/` prefix. That's your "folder"

<@U01FB0HRB2Q> thank you so much for your help, I’ll try right now and give you feedback soon.

One thing to note... if you delete the files from your local `segement-logs` folder Pulumi will delete them from your S3 bucket

<@U01FB0HRB2Q> Thank you so much again for your help. I tested and it works properly. I would like to suggest adding this example or replace that example here: <https://github.com/pulumi/examples/tree/master/aws-py-s3-folder> because didn’t work for me. Maybe it can help other Pulumi Python users.
