How to create a bucket with region us-east-1

[hantsy]

I tried to use this SDK to create a bucket with region us-east-1(we use this region in our project).

val request = CreateBucketRequest {
    bucket = bucketName
    createBucketConfiguration {
        locationConstraint = BucketLocationConstraint.fromValue(properties.region)
    }
}
try {
    client.createBucket(request)
} catch (e: Exception) {
    log.error("Failed to create bucket $bucketName", e)
    throw StorageServiceException(e.message ?: "Failed to create bucket $bucketName")
}

It failed, due to there is no us-east-1 item in the BucketLocationConstraint.

How to fix this?

From the API reference docs for S3 CreateBucket

Specifies the Region where the bucket will be created. If you don't specify a Region, the bucket is created in the US East (N. Virginia) Region (us-east-1).

Try leaving the location constraint off when creating a bucket in us-east-1.
