Are S3 buckets region specific?

When we go to S3 in AWS console in "Global" option it shows 

"S3 does not require region selection."

But when we create new bucket there it asks for Region !

So are S3 buckets region specific ?

Solution

  • The user interface shows all your buckets, in all regions. But buckets exist in a specific region and you need to specify that region when you create a bucket.
