Rules for container names

PDFRSS

When you choose a name for your container, remember the following:

  • The name must be unique within the current account for the current AWS Region.

  • The name can contain uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and underscores (_).

  • The name must be from 1 to 255 characters long.

  • Names are case sensitive. For example, you can have a container named myContainer and a folder named mycontainer because those names are unique.

  • A container can’t be renamed after it has been created.
