Use HeadBucket com um AWS SDK ou CLI

###############################################################################
# function bucket_exists
#
# This function checks to see if the specified bucket already exists.
#
# Parameters:
#       $1 - The name of the bucket to check.
#
# Returns:
#       0 - If the bucket already exists.
#       1 - If the bucket doesn't exist.
###############################################################################
function bucket_exists() {
  local bucket_name
  bucket_name=$1

  # Check whether the bucket already exists.
  # We suppress all output - we're interested only in the return code.

  if aws s3api head-bucket \
    --bucket "$bucket_name" \
    >/dev/null 2>&1; then
    return 0 # 0 in Bash script means true.
  else
    return 1 # 1 in Bash script means false.
  fi
}

O seguinte comando verifica o acesso ao bucket my-bucket:

aws s3api head-bucket --bucket my-bucket

Se o bucket existir e você tiver acesso a ele, nenhuma saída será retornada. Caso contrário, uma mensagem de erro será exibida. Por exemplo:

A client error (404) occurred when calling the HeadBucket operation: Not Found
