I was creating an AWS S3 bucket using AWS CLI, but I was getting below error while creating bucket
Problem:
Command:-
aws s3api create-bucket --bucket abhishek-qa-state-store --region us-west-2
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.
Solution:
For any other region than us-east-1 in AWS, we need to define the LocationConstraint. Below is the command which will create a bucket for you in any other region apart from us-east-1
Command:-
aws s3api create-bucket --bucket abhishek-qa-state-store --region us-west-2 --create-bucket-configuration LocationConstraint=us-west-2
Output:-
{
"Location": "http://abhishek-qa-state-store.s3.amazonaws.com/"
}
