Error bucket name already exists

Question

Hi Guys,

I am trying to create an S3 bucket. But it is showing the below error.

Answer 1

Hi@akhtar,

AWS S3 bucket is a global service. This means that if someone else has a bucket of a certain name, you cannot have a bucket with that same name. Otherwise, it will conflict with the URL.

So if you are trying to create a bucket, and AWS says it already exists, then it already exists, either in your AWS account or someone else's AWS account.
