S3 Bucket – IllegalLocationConstraintException

A quick one !!

Creating bucket failed with “IllegalLocationConstraintException” —

[ec2-user@ip-172-31-33-128 ~]$ aws s3api create-bucket --bucket labtestrand --region us-west-2

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.

Solution —

[ec2-user@ip-172-31-33-128 ~]$
[ec2-user@ip-172-31-33-128 ~]$ aws s3api create-bucket --bucket labtestrand --region us-west-2 --create-bucket-configuration LocationConstraint=us-west-2
{
"Location": "http://labtestrand.s3.amazonaws.com/"
}
