AWS CLI S3 Bucket List

Introduction

AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) is a unified tool that can be used to manage AWS services from the command line. With the AWS CLI, you can automate common tasks, such as creating and managing S3 buckets, from shell scripts and other automation tools.

S3 Bucket List

To list all the S3 buckets in your AWS account using the AWS CLI, use the following command:

aws s3 ls

This command will list all the S3 buckets in your default region. You can also specify a different region using the --region option:

aws s3 ls --region <region>

Replace <region> with the name of the region you want to list the buckets for, for example us-west-1.

Output Formats

The aws s3 ls command outputs the bucket name, creation date, and time in a tabular format. You can also specify different output formats using the --output option.

Here are some of the available output formats:

• json: JSON format
• text: plain text format
• table: tabular format (default)

To output the list of S3 buckets in JSON format, use the following command:

aws s3 ls --output json
