Question

Hi Guys,

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

$ aws s3api create-bucket --bucket BucketNew --region us-east-1
An error occurred (InvalidBucketName) when calling the CreateBucket operation: The specified bucket is not valid.

Hi@akhtar,

You can't use an uppercase letter in your bucket name. AWS will not allow you to use an uppercase letter in the bucket name. You can use the below syntax.

$ aws s3api create-bucket --bucket bucketnew --region us-east-1
