Listing vector buckets

Note

Amazon S3 Vectors is in preview release for Amazon Simple Storage Service and is subject to change.

You can view all your vector buckets using the Amazon S3 console or the AWS CLI. The listing operations support prefix-based filtering to help you find specific buckets when you have many vector buckets in your account. For more information about ListVectorBuckets, prefix limits, and response limits, see ListVectorBuckets in the Amazon S3 API Reference.

Prefix search capability

Prefix search allows you to list buckets that start with a specific prefix, making it easier to organize and find related vector buckets. This is particularly useful when you use naming conventions that group related buckets together:

• Environment-based: production-vectors-, staging-vectors-, dev-vectors-

• Use case-based: ml-model-vectors-, document-search-, image-similarity-

• Team-based: data-science-vectors-, ml-platform-vectors-

Using the S3 console

To list vector buckets

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon S3 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/.

2. In the navigation pane, choose Vector buckets.

   The console displays a list of all your vector buckets with the following information:

   • Name – The unique name of the vector bucket

   • Creation date – When the bucket was created

   • Amazon Resource Name (ARN) – The full ARN for programmatic access

To filter the list:

• To find a bucket based on the start of the bucket name, enter a vector bucket name or prefix in the search box above the bucket list.

• Use prefixes to find groups of related buckets (for example, type "prod-" to find all production buckets)

  The list updates in real-time as you type
