+# S3 bucket with cross-account access
+
+This example describes how to create an S3 bucket in one AWS account and give access to that bucket to another user from another AWS account using bucket policy.
+It demonstrates capabilities of provider aliases.
+
+See [more in the S3 documentation](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/example-walkthroughs-managing-access-example2.html).
+
+## How to run
+
+Either `cp terraform.template.tfvars terraform.tfvars` and modify that new file accordingly or provide variables via CLI:
+
+```
+terraform apply \
+	-var="prod_access_key=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" \
+	-var="prod_secret_key=SuperSecretKeyForAccountA" \
+	-var="test_account_id=123456789012" \
+	-var="test_access_key=BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB" \
+	-var="test_secret_key=SuperSecretKeyForAccountB" \
+	-var="bucket_name=tf-bucket-in-prod" \
+```
