aws-s3api: Create bucket in a specific region.
$ aws s3api create-bucket --bucket ${bucket_name} --region ${region} --create-bucket-configuration LocationConstraint=${region}
try on your machine

This command is used to create an S3 bucket in AWS using the AWS CLI (Command Line Interface).

Let's break down the different parts of the command:

  • aws s3api is the command to interact with the AWS S3 API.
  • create-bucket is the specific API action to create a new bucket.
  • --bucket ${bucket_name} is an argument that specifies the name of the bucket to be created. ${bucket_name} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the desired name of the bucket.
  • --region ${region} is another argument that specifies the AWS region where the bucket should be created. ${region} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the desired region (e.g., us-west-1, eu-central-1, etc.).
  • --create-bucket-configuration is an argument that defines the configuration for creating the bucket.
  • LocationConstraint=${region} is a sub-argument within --create-bucket-configuration that specifies the location constraint for the bucket. Here, ${region} is again a placeholder that should be replaced with the desired region. This essentially ensures that the bucket is created in the specified region.

Overall, this command creates an S3 bucket with a specified name and in a specific region using the AWS CLI.
