Example Output
### AWS CLI Command for S3 Bucket Creation
**Command:**
```bash
aws s3api create-bucket --bucket my-company-marketing-assets --region us-east-1
```
**Expected Output:**
```json
{
"Location": "/my-company-marketing-assets"
}
```
**Prerequisites:**
- AWS CLI installed and configured with `aws configure`
- IAM user with `s3:CreateBucket` permissions
- Unique bucket name (globally across all AWS accounts)
**Next Steps:**
- Verify bucket creation:
```bash
aws s3 ls
```
- Set bucket policy for public access (if needed):
```bash
aws s3api put-bucket-policy --bucket my-company-marketing-assets --policy file://policy.json
```
**Common Issues:**
- `BucketAlreadyExists` error: Choose a unique name or use `--create-bucket-configuration LocationConstraint=region` for non-us-east-1 regions
- Permission errors: Attach `AdministratorAccess` policy temporarily for testingFind the right skills for your stack
