I have created an Amazon Web Services S3 bucket in the past, without specifying the geographic region for it to be stored in. How do I determine which region the bucket is located in?
My reason for asking, is that I am preparing to run some "Amazon Elastic MapReduce" jobs on the data in the bucket, and this service asks me in what region I want the job to run. As it seems reasonable to run the job as close to the data as possible, I would like to know where to data actually is.
The options in Elastic MapReduce are:
I am not if these are the exact same locations available in S3. Anyways, I would like to identify the one that is at least closest to my data.

Objects stored in the S3 One Zone-IA storage class are stored redundantly within a single Availability Zone in the AWS Region you select. For S3 on Outposts, your data is stored in your Outpost on-premises environment, unless you manually choose to transfer it to an AWS Region.
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.
If you don't specify a Region when you create a client or a bucket, Amazon S3 uses the default Region US East (N. Virginia). To create a client to access a dual-stack endpoint, you must specify an AWS Region.
Unless you specified something else, it'll be North America.
If you log in to Amazon web services, and view your usage report, it'll tell you whether it's EU / US or something other.
From reading the Amazon S3 / MapReduce stuff, the regions are different between the two apps, so you probably want to stick to either EU or US (rather than east or west).

You can use the GET Location Bucket request. Most probably your bucket is in US.
