Viewing directory bucket properties - Amazon Simple Storage Service

Viewing directory bucket properties

You can view and configure the properties for an Amazon S3 directory bucket by using the Amazon S3 console. For more information, see Directory buckets and What is S3 Express One Zone?.

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon S3 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/.

  2. In the left navigation pane, choose Buckets.

  3. Choose the Directory buckets tab.

  4. In the Directory buckets list, choose the name of the bucket that you want to view the properties for.

  5. Choose the Properties tab.

  6. On the Properties tab, you can view the following properties for the bucket:

    • Directory bucket overview – You can see the AWS Region, Availability Zone, Amazon Resource Name (ARN), and creation date for the bucket.

    • Default encryption – Amazon S3 applies server-side encryption with Amazon S3 managed keys (SSE-S3) as the base level of encryption for all S3 buckets. For directory buckets, this setting can't be modified. Amazon S3 encrypts an object before saving it to a disk and decrypts the object when you download it. For more information, see Setting default server-side encryption behavior for Amazon S3 buckets.

      For more information about supported features for directory buckets, see Features of S3 Express One Zone.
