Example 1: To create a bucket
The following
create-bucket
example creates a bucket namedmy-bucket
:aws s3api create-bucket \ --bucket
my-bucket
\ --regionus-east-1
Output:
{ "Location": "/my-bucket" }
For more information, see Creating a bucket in the Amazon S3 User Guide.
Example 2: To create a bucket with owner enforced
The following
create-bucket
example creates a bucket namedmy-bucket
that uses the bucket owner enforced setting for S3 Object Ownership.aws s3api create-bucket \ --bucket
my-bucket
\ --regionus-east-1
\ --object-ownershipBucketOwnerEnforced
Output:
{ "Location": "/my-bucket" }
For more information, see Controlling ownership of objects and disabling ACLs in the Amazon S3 User Guide.
Example 3: To create a bucket outside of the ``us-east-1`` region
The following
create-bucket
example creates a bucket namedmy-bucket
in theeu-west-1
region. Regions outside ofus-east-1
require the appropriateLocationConstraint
to be specified in order to create the bucket in the desired region.aws s3api create-bucket \ --bucket
my-bucket
\ --regioneu-west-1
\ --create-bucket-configurationLocationConstraint=eu-west-1
Output:
{ "Location": "http://my-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/" }
