Creating an S3 bucket in Amazon S3 compatible storage on Snowball Edge on a Snowball Edge - AWS Snowball Edge Developer Guide

You can create Amazon S3 buckets on your Snowball Edge device to store and retrieve objects at the edge for applications that require local data access, local data processing, and data residency. Amazon S3 compatible storage on Snowball Edge provides a new storage class, SNOW, which uses Amazon S3 and is designed to store data durably and redundantly across multiple devices . You can use the same APIs and features as you do on Amazon S3 buckets, including bucket lifecycle policies, encryption, and tagging.

The following example creates an Amazon S3 bucket for a Snowball Edge device using the AWS CLI. To run this command, replace the user input placeholders with your own information.
