**Use Case/Requirement** : Store build artifacts to AWS S3 bucket.

**Issue:** In the pipeline workflow, I defined below two jobs.

- maven/test - responsible to generate build artifacts

- store/buck - responsible to store artifacts to AWS S3 bucket

I don’t see any issue with maven/test job. _However I am facing below issue for the job **store/buck**._
