Prerequisites
Before adding Amazon S3 or Wasabi as a Replication destination, the user must configure their S3 or Wasabi bucket permissions as described here. For Azure Blob Storage, the user must configure their storage account permissions as described here.
IMPORTANT: Do not register an S3 bucket as an External Replication destination if it is currently being used as a Content Lifecycle Filtered Location. The two services are mutually exclusive and the user will incur unnecessary egress charges if they use the same instance for both services.
