Hints — S3 Bucket Region - Lab 02
Open each hint only after you’ve spent time investigating on your own.
Hint 1 — Where to look
Compare the URL that returned the error with the BucketURL in your stack
Outputs tab.
What is different between the two URLs?
Hint 2 — What to look for
Both URLs contain a region identifier (e.g., us-east-1, us-east-2). S3
buckets exist in exactly one region. A URL that references a different region
points to a bucket that does not exist there — which is why S3 returns
NoSuchBucket.
What region does the failed URL reference? What region does BucketURL
reference?
Hint 3 — The fix is closer than you think
The correct URL is already available to you — you saw it before you modified it. Where did the original unmodified URL come from?
Spoiler Alert — Full Solution
Root cause: The URL you tested references a region where your bucket does
not exist. S3 returns NoSuchBucket because that region has no record of the
bucket. The bucket lives in the region embedded in BucketURL.
Go back to the stack Outputs tab and use the original BucketURL — it
already has the correct region. Open it in your browser and the page should
load.
