Amazon S3: Create Bucket

Description

This step creates a new bucket on Amazon S3. Bucket names must be globally unique across all AWS accounts and follow specific naming rules (no uppercase, no underscores, 3-63 characters). You can optionally enable Object Lock to prevent objects from being deleted or overwritten. Use this step in workflows that set up storage for new projects, create backup destinations, or provision buckets as part of infrastructure automation.

Input tab:
Bucket NameSpecify the name of the S3 bucket to create.
To conform with Amazon S3, bucket names must meet the following requirements:
- Bucket names should not contain underscores.
- Bucket names should have 3 to 63 characters.
- Bucket names should not end with a dash.
- Bucket names cannot contain adjacent periods.
- Bucket names cannot contain dashes next to periods (e.g., “my-.bucket.com” and “my.-bucket” are invalid)
- Bucket names cannot contain uppercase characters.
Note:
- Bucket names must be unique in the Amazon S3 instance across the users.
An Amazon S3 bucket name is globally unique, and the namespace is shared by all AWS accounts. This means that after a bucket is created, the name of that bucket cannot be used by another AWS account in any AWS Region until the bucket is deleted.
Additional Input Tab:
Object LockWhen enabled, the object will be prevented from being deleted or overwritten until the hold is explicitly removed. The objects can be stored using the write-once-read-many (WORM)model.
Object Lock only works in versioned buckets; and enabling Object Lock automatically enables bucket versioning.
The data type is String.
