IBM cloud storage, getting error while creating bucket with aws sdk

Question

I am getting below error while trying to access ibm cloud storage

Container storage location with specified provisioning code not available (Service: Amazon > Status Code: 400.

Please see the snippet of code of i am using to create a bucket in ibm cloud storage using aws s3 client sdk.

    String accessKey = (ACCESS_KEY);
    String secretKey = (SECRET_KEY);
    AWSCredentials credentials = new BasicAWSCredentials(accessKey,
            secretKey);
    AmazonS3Client s3service = new AmazonS3Client(credentials);
    s3service.setEndpoint(END_POINT);
    s3service.createBucket("samplebucket");

The above code is working only for us-south end point(s3.us-south.cloud-object-storage.appdomain.cloud)

As per the ibm official docs[0] there are the other endpoints for different regions, but none of them is working using above code.

The official docs are here: cloud.ibm.com/docs/…. Please add what exactly you tried, all parameters except your credentials. — data_henrik
This snippet of code is not working for me : String accessKey = (ACCESS_KEY); String secretKey = (SECRET_KEY); AWSCredentials credentials = new BasicAWSCredentials(accessKey, secretKey); AmazonS3Client s3service = new AmazonS3Client(credentials); s3service.setEndpoint("https://s3.us-east.cloud-object-storage.appdomain.cloud"); s3service.createBucket("samplebucket"); — Neeraj

I am taking an example of how to use Java SDK with region/location specified

String location = "us"; 
AmazonS3 cosClient = createClient(apiKey, serviceInstanceId, endpointUrl, location);

The createClient static method looks like this

 public static AmazonS3 createClient(String apiKey, String serviceInstanceId, String endpointUrl, String location)
        {
            AWSCredentials credentials = new BasicIBMOAuthCredentials(apiKey, serviceInstanceId);
            ClientConfiguration clientConfig = new ClientConfiguration()
                    .withRequestTimeout(5000)
                    .withTcpKeepAlive(true);

            return AmazonS3ClientBuilder
                    .standard()
                    .withCredentials(new AWSStaticCredentialsProvider(credentials))
                    .withEndpointConfiguration(new EndpointConfiguration(endpointUrl, location))
                    .withPathStyleAccessEnabled(true)
                    .withClientConfiguration(clientConfig)
                    .build();
        }

As per the documentation here, AmazonS3ClientBuilder has an option to pass the region using withRegion.

Check the complete COS Java SDK documentation here

Updated:

If you see the Java example in the COS documentation, there is something called Storage class.

storageClass is a valid provisioning code that corresponds to the endpoint value. This is then used as the S3 API LocationConstraint variable.

To create a bucket with a different storage class programmatically, it is necessary to specify a LocationConstraint that corresponds with the endpoint used.

You can find the valid provisioning codes for LocationConstraint in the documentation here
