[ aws . s3api ]

create-bucket¶

Description¶

Note

This action creates an Amazon S3 bucket. To create an Amazon S3 on Outposts bucket, see ` CreateBucket https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_control_CreateBucket.html`__ .

Creates a new S3 bucket. To create a bucket, you must set up Amazon S3 and have a valid Amazon Web Services Access Key ID to authenticate requests. Anonymous requests are never allowed to create buckets. By creating the bucket, you become the bucket owner.

There are two types of buckets: general purpose buckets and directory buckets. For more information about these bucket types, see Creating, configuring, and working with Amazon S3 buckets in the Amazon S3 User Guide .

Note

General purpose buckets - If you send your CreateBucket request to the s3.amazonaws.com global endpoint, the request goes to the us-east-1 Region. So the signature calculations in Signature Version 4 must use us-east-1 as the Region, even if the location constraint in the request specifies another Region where the bucket is to be created. If you create a bucket in a Region other than US East (N. Virginia), your application must be able to handle 307 redirect. For more information, see Virtual hosting of buckets in the Amazon S3 User Guide .
Directory buckets - For directory buckets, you must make requests for this API operation to the Regional endpoint. These endpoints support path-style requests in the format ``https://s3express-control.*region-code* .amazonaws.com/bucket-name `` . Virtual-hosted-style requests aren't supported. For more information about endpoints in Availability Zones, see Regional and Zonal endpoints for directory buckets in Availability Zones in the Amazon S3 User Guide . For more information about endpoints in Local Zones, see Available Local Zone for directory buckets in the Amazon S3 User Guide .

Permissions

General purpose bucket permissions - In addition to the s3:CreateBucket permission, the following permissions are required in a policy when your CreateBucket request includes specific headers:
- Access control lists (ACLs) - In your CreateBucket request, if you specify an access control list (ACL) and set it to public-read , public-read-write , authenticated-read , or if you explicitly specify any other custom ACLs, both s3:CreateBucket and s3:PutBucketAcl permissions are required. In your CreateBucket request, if you set the ACL to private , or if you don't specify any ACLs, only the s3:CreateBucket permission is required.
- Object Lock - In your CreateBucket request, if you set x-amz-bucket-object-lock-enabled to true, the s3:PutBucketObjectLockConfiguration and s3:PutBucketVersioning permissions are required.
- S3 Object Ownership - If your CreateBucket request includes the x-amz-object-ownership header, then the s3:PutBucketOwnershipControls permission is required.
Warning
To set an ACL on a bucket as part of a CreateBucket request, you must explicitly set S3 Object Ownership for the bucket to a different value than the default, BucketOwnerEnforced . Additionally, if your desired bucket ACL grants public access, you must first create the bucket (without the bucket ACL) and then explicitly disable Block Public Access on the bucket before using PutBucketAcl to set the ACL. If you try to create a bucket with a public ACL, the request will fail. For the majority of modern use cases in S3, we recommend that you keep all Block Public Access settings enabled and keep ACLs disabled. If you would like to share data with users outside of your account, you can use bucket policies as needed. For more information, see Controlling ownership of objects and disabling ACLs for your bucket and Blocking public access to your Amazon S3 storage in the Amazon S3 User Guide .
- S3 Block Public Access - If your specific use case requires granting public access to your S3 resources, you can disable Block Public Access. Specifically, you can create a new bucket with Block Public Access enabled, then separately call the ` DeletePublicAccessBlock https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_DeletePublicAccessBlock.html`__ API. To use this operation, you must have the s3:PutBucketPublicAccessBlock permission. For more information about S3 Block Public Access, see Blocking public access to your Amazon S3 storage in the Amazon S3 User Guide .
Directory bucket permissions - You must have the s3express:CreateBucket permission in an IAM identity-based policy instead of a bucket policy. Cross-account access to this API operation isn't supported. This operation can only be performed by the Amazon Web Services account that owns the resource. For more information about directory bucket policies and permissions, see Amazon Web Services Identity and Access Management (IAM) for S3 Express One Zone in the Amazon S3 User Guide .

Warning

The permissions for ACLs, Object Lock, S3 Object Ownership, and S3 Block Public Access are not supported for directory buckets. For directory buckets, all Block Public Access settings are enabled at the bucket level and S3 Object Ownership is set to Bucket owner enforced (ACLs disabled). These settings can't be modified. For more information about permissions for creating and working with directory buckets, see Directory buckets in the Amazon S3 User Guide . For more information about supported S3 features for directory buckets, see Features of S3 Express One Zone in the Amazon S3 User Guide .

The canned ACL to apply to the bucket.

Note
This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

Possible values:

private

public-read

public-read-write

authenticated-read

--bucket (string)

The name of the bucket to create.

General purpose buckets - For information about bucket naming restrictions, see Bucket naming rules in the Amazon S3 User Guide .

Directory buckets - When you use this operation with a directory bucket, you must use path-style requests in the format https://s3express-control.*region-code* .amazonaws.com/*bucket-name* `` . Virtual-hosted-style requests aren't supported. Directory bucket names must be unique in the chosen Zone (Availability Zone or Local Zone). Bucket names must also follow the format `` *bucket-base-name* --*zone-id* --x-s3 (for example, `` DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET --usw2-az1 --x-s3`` ). For information about bucket naming restrictions, see Directory bucket naming rules in the Amazon S3 User Guide

--create-bucket-configuration (structure)

The configuration information for the bucket.

LocationConstraint -> (string)

Specifies the Region where the bucket will be created. You might choose a Region to optimize latency, minimize costs, or address regulatory requirements. For example, if you reside in Europe, you will probably find it advantageous to create buckets in the Europe (Ireland) Region. For more information, see Accessing a bucket in the Amazon S3 User Guide .

If you don't specify a Region, the bucket is created in the US East (N. Virginia) Region (us-east-1) by default.

Note
This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

Location -> (structure)

Specifies the location where the bucket will be created.

Directory buckets - The location type is Availability Zone or Local Zone. When the location type is Local Zone, your Local Zone must be in opt-in status. Otherwise, you get an HTTP 400 Bad Request error with the error code Access denied . To learn more about opt-in Local Zones, see Opt-in Dedicated Local Zones in the Amazon S3 User Guide .

Note
This functionality is only supported by directory buckets.

Type -> (string)

The type of location where the bucket will be created.

Name -> (string)

The name of the location where the bucket will be created.

For directory buckets, the name of the location is the Zone ID of the Availability Zone (AZ) or Local Zone (LZ) where the bucket will be created. An example AZ ID value is usw2-az1 .

Bucket -> (structure)

Specifies the information about the bucket that will be created.

Note
This functionality is only supported by directory buckets.

DataRedundancy -> (string)

The number of Zone (Availability Zone or Local Zone) that's used for redundancy for the bucket.

Type -> (string)

The type of bucket.

Shorthand Syntax:

LocationConstraint=string,Location={Type=string,Name=string},Bucket={DataRedundancy=string,Type=string}

JSON Syntax:

{
  "LocationConstraint": "af-south-1"|"ap-east-1"|"ap-northeast-1"|"ap-northeast-2"|"ap-northeast-3"|"ap-south-1"|"ap-south-2"|"ap-southeast-1"|"ap-southeast-2"|"ap-southeast-3"|"ca-central-1"|"cn-north-1"|"cn-northwest-1"|"EU"|"eu-central-1"|"eu-north-1"|"eu-south-1"|"eu-south-2"|"eu-west-1"|"eu-west-2"|"eu-west-3"|"me-south-1"|"sa-east-1"|"us-east-2"|"us-gov-east-1"|"us-gov-west-1"|"us-west-1"|"us-west-2",

    "Name": "string"
  },
  "Bucket": {
    "DataRedundancy": "SingleAvailabilityZone"|"SingleLocalZone",
    "Type": "Directory"
  }
}

--grant-full-control (string)

Allows grantee the read, write, read ACP, and write ACP permissions on the bucket.

Note
This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

--grant-read (string)

Allows grantee to list the objects in the bucket.

Note
This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

--grant-read-acp (string)

Allows grantee to read the bucket ACL.

Note
This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

--grant-write (string)

Allows grantee to create new objects in the bucket.

For the bucket and object owners of existing objects, also allows deletions and overwrites of those objects.

Note
This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

--grant-write-acp (string)

Allows grantee to write the ACL for the applicable bucket.

Note
This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

--object-lock-enabled-for-bucket | --no-object-lock-enabled-for-bucket (boolean)

Specifies whether you want S3 Object Lock to be enabled for the new bucket.

Note
This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

--object-ownership (string)

The container element for object ownership for a bucket's ownership controls.

BucketOwnerPreferred - Objects uploaded to the bucket change ownership to the bucket owner if the objects are uploaded with the bucket-owner-full-control canned ACL.

ObjectWriter - The uploading account will own the object if the object is uploaded with the bucket-owner-full-control canned ACL.

BucketOwnerEnforced - Access control lists (ACLs) are disabled and no longer affect permissions. The bucket owner automatically owns and has full control over every object in the bucket. The bucket only accepts PUT requests that don't specify an ACL or specify bucket owner full control ACLs (such as the predefined bucket-owner-full-control canned ACL or a custom ACL in XML format that grants the same permissions).

By default, ObjectOwnership is set to BucketOwnerEnforced and ACLs are disabled. We recommend keeping ACLs disabled, except in uncommon use cases where you must control access for each object individually. For more information about S3 Object Ownership, see Controlling ownership of objects and disabling ACLs for your bucket in the Amazon S3 User Guide .

Note
This functionality is not supported for directory buckets. Directory buckets use the bucket owner enforced setting for S3 Object Ownership.

Possible values:

BucketOwnerPreferred

ObjectWriter

BucketOwnerEnforced

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options¶

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

json
text
table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

on
off
auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Examples¶

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

Example 1: To create a bucket

The following create-bucket example creates a bucket named my-bucket:

aws s3api create-bucket \
    --bucket my-bucket \
    --region us-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 named my-bucket that uses the bucket owner enforced setting for S3 Object Ownership.

aws s3api create-bucket \
    --bucket my-bucket \
    --region us-east-1 \
    --object-ownership BucketOwnerEnforced

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 named my-bucket in the eu-west-1 region. Regions outside of us-east-1 require the appropriate LocationConstraint to be specified in order to create the bucket in the desired region.

aws s3api create-bucket \
    --bucket my-bucket \
    --region eu-west-1 \
    --create-bucket-configuration LocationConstraint=eu-west-1

Output:

{
    "Location": "http://my-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/"
}

For more information, see Creating a bucket in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

Output¶

Location -> (string)

A forward slash followed by the name of the bucket.
