S3 Get Bucket Location (Region)

Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is an online storage service by Amazon. You can use this service to store any kind of data on the internet, and retrieve it at anytime, from anywhere. In Amazon S3, data is stored in buckets. These buckets are like containers that can hold any number of objects.

If you have created a bucket in your AWS S3 account, you would know that while creating the bucket, you had specified the region where the bucket would reside. If you are not sure about the region where a particular bucket resides, you can use this action to get the bucket’s region. 

To do this, configure the action, and select the required AWS connection. Then, provide the name of the bucket whose region you wish to get. Once you have entered all the required details, click on ‘Done’ and run the workflow. This will return the region where the bucket resides.
