I am trying to create an S3 bucket using
aws s3api create-bucket —bucket kubernetes-aws-wthamira-io
It gives this error:
An error occurred (IllegalLocationConstraintException) when calling
the CreateBucket operation: The unspecified location constraint is
incompatible for the region specific endpoint this request was sent
to.
I set the region using aws configure to eu-west-1
Default region name [eu-west-1]:
but it gives the same error. How do I solve this?
I use osx terminal to connect aws
try this:
aws s3api create-bucket --bucket kubernetes-aws-wthamira-io --create-bucket-configuration LocationConstraint=eu-west-1
Regions outside of us-east-1 require the appropriate LocationConstraint to be specified in order to create the bucket in the desired region.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/create-bucket.html
Using mb solved the issue for us
aws s3 mb s3://storage.example.com --region us-west-1
You'll also get this error if you're trying to create a bucket with a name that's already been taken.
So try giving your bucket a more unique name and then it should work (I just added digits to the end of the bucket name).
