Deploying 50 S3 Buckets with the Same Name using Terraform

Imagine deploying multiple S3 buckets for various environments such as development, testing, and production but AWS restricts you to unique names.

What if I told you there’s a clever way to bypass this limitation using Terraform?

Let’s dive into this technical challenge and explore how to achieve this by watching this video.

Here is the GitHub repository containing the code and instructions.

The title is inaccurate. The video shows how to deploy 50 buckets with different names, not the same name. So you are not bypassing the AWS limitation of globally-unique names. Also, this video is narrated by AI and the images are probably AI-generated too. I wouldn't be surprised if the minimal terraform code is also AI-generated.

god I am getting so sick of AI-generated content.

Thank you for your comments. You're correct that I used AI tools to generate the image, but I edited the content with video editing tools and wrote the article's story. The output for the buckets uses the same base name, and while you referred to it as minimal code, it's actually what is necessary to address the unique global name limitation in the S3 bucket. We don't need 1000 lines of code for such a straightforward solution. About your comments on AI whether we like it or not, AI is here to stay, and we will continue to test it in every possible way.

I'm curious to know how you would solve and present this problem. Could you please share your knowledge?

Thank you thou
