To set the destination for most downstream systems

Complete the URL fields in the HLS group destinations section. Specify two destinations if the channel is set up as a standard channel, or one destination if it is set up as a single-pipeline channel.

Leave the Credentials section blank in both the HLS group destinations sections. MediaLive has permission to write to the S3 bucket via the trusted entity. Someone in your organization should have already set up these permissions. For more information, see Access requirements for the trusted entity.
-
In the CDN settings section, choose
Hls S3. -
Complete the CDN settings field only if MediaLive must set a canned ACL whenever it sends this output to the Amazon S3 bucket.
Use of a canned ACL typically only applies if your organization is not the owner of the Amazon S3 bucket. You should have discussed the use of a canned ACL with the bucket owner when you discussed the destination for the output.
