Are S3 buckets region specific?

When we go to S3 in AWS console in "Global" option it shows

"S3 does not require region selection."

But when we create new bucket there it asks for Region !

So are S3 buckets region specific ?

Are S3 buckets global or regional?

Amazon S3 supports global buckets, which means that each bucket name must be unique across all AWS accounts in all the AWS Regions within a partition. A partition is a grouping of Regions.

Is it possible to change S3 bucket region?

The short answer is you can't migrate a S3 bucket from one region to another.

Can we have same S3 bucket name in different region?

An Amazon S3 bucket is owned by the AWS account that created it. Bucket ownership is not transferable to another account. When you create a bucket, you choose its name and the AWS Region to create it in. After you create a bucket, you can't change its name or Region.

The user interface shows all your buckets, in all regions. But buckets exist in a specific region and you need to specify that region when you create a bucket.
