amazon-s3 Getting started with amazon-s3 Hello World Using PowerShell

Example

This example expects an error, as the hello-world bucket already exists and S3 uses a global namespace.

    New-S3Bucket -BucketName "hello-world"

New-S3Bucket : The requested bucket name is not available. The bucket namespace is shared by all users of the system. Please select a different name and try again.

If you replace hello-world with something else that is unique, the bucket will be created without error, and you will get the following result:

    CreationDate                                      BucketName
    ------------                                      ----------
