| Bucket Name | Specify 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. |
