4. Click the Choose file button and select the s3-template.json file found in this directory
5. Click Next
6. Enter a stack name, ex. 'frost-s3-stack'
7. Enter a bucket name, ex. 'frost-s3-bucket'
8. Click Next twice
9. Click Create stack

Note: The bucket name chosen in step 7 must be unique and conform to S3's bucket naming rules found here
