Bucket Naming Rules

What are the general-purpose bucket naming rules?

The following naming rules apply to general-purpose buckets.

• Bucket names must be between 3 (min) and 63 (max) characters long.
• Bucket names can consist only of lowercase letters, numbers, periods (.), and hyphens (-).
• Bucket names must begin and end with a letter or number.
• Bucket names must not contain two adjacent periods.
• Bucket names must not be formatted as an IP address (for example, 192.168.5.4).
• Bucket names must not start with the prefix xn--.
• Bucket names must not start with the prefix sthree-.
• Bucket names must not start with the prefix amzn-s3-demo-.
• Bucket names must not end with the suffix -s3alias.
• Bucket names must not end with the suffix --ol-s3.
• Bucket names must not end with the suffix .mrap.
• Bucket names must not end with the suffix --x-s3.

Recommendations for naming a bucket

• Choose a bucket naming scheme that's unlikely to cause naming conflicts
• Append globally unique identifiers (GUIDs) to bucket names
• Avoid using periods (.) in bucket names
• Don't delete buckets so that you can reuse bucket names
• 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.
