# CreateRecordingConfiguration
<a name="API_CreateRecordingConfiguration"></a>

Creates a new recording configuration, used to enable recording to Amazon S3.

 **Known issue:** In the us-east-1 region, if you use the AWS CLI to create a recording configuration, it returns success even if the S3 bucket is in a different region. In this case, the `state` of the recording configuration is `CREATE_FAILED` (instead of `ACTIVE`). (In other regions, the CLI correctly returns failure if the bucket is in a different region.)

 **Workaround:** Ensure that your S3 bucket is in the same region as the recording configuration. If you create a recording configuration in a different region as your S3 bucket, delete that recording configuration and create a new one with an S3 bucket from the correct region.
