Invalid bucket name

Question

I am trying to create S3 bucket but getting an Invalid bucket name exception. What should I do?

Answer 1

There are certain guidelines required by S3 when naming a bucket, make sure your bucket name complies with the following:

1. Must start with a lowercase letter or number

2. Cannot contain underscores, end with a dash, have consecutive periods or use dashes adjacent to periods

3. It cannot be formatted as an IP address
