Bucket / Action / create

create#

S3.Bucket.create(**kwargs)#

Note

This action creates an Amazon S3 bucket. To create an Amazon S3 on Outposts bucket, see CreateBucket.

Creates a new S3 bucket. To create a bucket, you must set up Amazon S3 and have a valid Amazon Web Services Access Key ID to authenticate requests. Anonymous requests are never allowed to create buckets. By creating the bucket, you become the bucket owner.

There are two types of buckets: general purpose buckets and directory buckets. For more information about these bucket types, see Creating, configuring, and working with Amazon S3 buckets in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

Note

  • General purpose buckets - If you send your CreateBucket request to the s3.amazonaws.com global endpoint, the request goes to the us-east-1 Region. So the signature calculations in Signature Version 4 must use us-east-1 as the Region, even if the location constraint in the request specifies another Region where the bucket is to be created. If you create a bucket in a Region other than US East (N. Virginia), your application must be able to handle 307 redirect. For more information, see Virtual hosting of buckets in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

  • Directory buckets - For directory buckets, you must make requests for this API operation to the Regional endpoint. These endpoints support path-style requests in the format ``https://s3express-control.region_code.amazonaws.com/bucket-name ``. Virtual-hosted-style requests aren’t supported. For more information, see Regional and Zonal endpoints in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

Permissions

  • General purpose bucket permissions - In addition to the s3:CreateBucket permission, the following permissions are required in a policy when your CreateBucket request includes specific headers:

    • Access control lists (ACLs) - In your CreateBucket request, if you specify an access control list (ACL) and set it to public-read, public-read-write, authenticated-read, or if you explicitly specify any other custom ACLs, both s3:CreateBucket and s3:PutBucketAcl permissions are required. In your CreateBucket request, if you set the ACL to private, or if you don’t specify any ACLs, only the s3:CreateBucket permission is required.

    • Object Lock - In your CreateBucket request, if you set x-amz-bucket-object-lock-enabled to true, the s3:PutBucketObjectLockConfiguration and s3:PutBucketVersioning permissions are required.

    • S3 Object Ownership - If your CreateBucket request includes the x-amz-object-ownership header, then the s3:PutBucketOwnershipControls permission is required.

    Warning

    If your CreateBucket request sets BucketOwnerEnforced for Amazon S3 Object Ownership and specifies a bucket ACL that provides access to an external Amazon Web Services account, your request fails with a 400 error and returns the InvalidBucketAcLWithObjectOwnership error code. For more information, see Setting Object Ownership on an existing bucket in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

    • S3 Block Public Access - If your specific use case requires granting public access to your S3 resources, you can disable Block Public Access. Specifically, you can create a new bucket with Block Public Access enabled, then separately call the DeletePublicAccessBlock API. To use this operation, you must have the s3:PutBucketPublicAccessBlock permission. For more information about S3 Block Public Access, see Blocking public access to your Amazon S3 storage in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

  • Directory bucket permissions - You must have the s3express:CreateBucket permission in an IAM identity-based policy instead of a bucket policy. Cross-account access to this API operation isn’t supported. This operation can only be performed by the Amazon Web Services account that owns the resource. For more information about directory bucket policies and permissions, see Amazon Web Services Identity and Access Management (IAM) for S3 Express One Zone in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

Warning

The permissions for ACLs, Object Lock, S3 Object Ownership, and S3 Block Public Access are not supported for directory buckets. For directory buckets, all Block Public Access settings are enabled at the bucket level and S3 Object Ownership is set to Bucket owner enforced (ACLs disabled). These settings can’t be modified. For more information about permissions for creating and working with directory buckets, see Directory buckets in the Amazon S3 User Guide. For more information about supported S3 features for directory buckets, see Features of S3 Express One Zone in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

Parameters:

  • ACL (string) –

    The canned ACL to apply to the bucket.

    Note

    This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

  • CreateBucketConfiguration (dict) –

    The configuration information for the bucket.

    • LocationConstraint (string) –

      Specifies the Region where the bucket will be created. You might choose a Region to optimize latency, minimize costs, or address regulatory requirements. For example, if you reside in Europe, you will probably find it advantageous to create buckets in the Europe (Ireland) Region. For more information, see Accessing a bucket in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

      If you don’t specify a Region, the bucket is created in the US East (N. Virginia) Region (us-east-1) by default.

      Note

      This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

    • Location (dict) –

      Specifies the location where the bucket will be created.

      For directory buckets, the location type is Availability Zone.

      Note

      This functionality is only supported by directory buckets.

      • Type (string) –

        The type of location where the bucket will be created.

      • Name (string) –

        The name of the location where the bucket will be created.

        For directory buckets, the AZ ID of the Availability Zone where the bucket will be created. An example AZ ID value is usw2-az2.

    • Bucket (dict) –

      Specifies the information about the bucket that will be created.

      Note

      This functionality is only supported by directory buckets.

      • DataRedundancy (string) –

        The number of Availability Zone that’s used for redundancy for the bucket.

      • Type (string) –

        The type of bucket.

  • GrantFullControl (string) –

    Allows grantee the read, write, read ACP, and write ACP permissions on the bucket.

    Note

    This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

  • GrantRead (string) –

    Allows grantee to list the objects in the bucket.

    Note

    This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

  • GrantReadACP (string) –

    Allows grantee to read the bucket ACL.

    Note

    This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

  • GrantWrite (string) –

    Allows grantee to create new objects in the bucket.

    For the bucket and object owners of existing objects, also allows deletions and overwrites of those objects.

    Note

    This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

  • GrantWriteACP (string) –

    Allows grantee to write the ACL for the applicable bucket.

    Note

    This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

  • ObjectLockEnabledForBucket (boolean) –

    Specifies whether you want S3 Object Lock to be enabled for the new bucket.

    Note

    This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

  • ObjectOwnership (string) –

    The container element for object ownership for a bucket’s ownership controls.

    BucketOwnerPreferred - Objects uploaded to the bucket change ownership to the bucket owner if the objects are uploaded with the bucket-owner-full-control canned ACL.

    ObjectWriter - The uploading account will own the object if the object is uploaded with the bucket-owner-full-control canned ACL.

    BucketOwnerEnforced - Access control lists (ACLs) are disabled and no longer affect permissions. The bucket owner automatically owns and has full control over every object in the bucket. The bucket only accepts PUT requests that don’t specify an ACL or specify bucket owner full control ACLs (such as the predefined bucket-owner-full-control canned ACL or a custom ACL in XML format that grants the same permissions).

    By default, ObjectOwnership is set to BucketOwnerEnforced and ACLs are disabled. We recommend keeping ACLs disabled, except in uncommon use cases where you must control access for each object individually. For more information about S3 Object Ownership, see Controlling ownership of objects and disabling ACLs for your bucket in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

    Note

    This functionality is not supported for directory buckets. Directory buckets use the bucket owner enforced setting for S3 Object Ownership.
