Naming a Bucket
Before naming a bucket, you may want to review the following recommendations:
Choose a bucket naming scheme that is unlikely to cause naming conflicts.
Append globally unique identifiers (GUIDs) to bucket names.
Avoid using periods (.) in bucket names.
To ensure that you can reuse bucket names, do not delete buckets.
After you delete a bucket, be aware that another Wasabi account in the same partition can use the same bucket name for a new bucket and potentially receive requests intended for the deleted bucket.
