The S3 bucket

The S3 bucket is a container for objects. When creating a bucket, you name the bucket and select the region. The bucket names must be unique across all the S3 namespaces on AWS. Selecting the appropriate region allows you to reduce latency for your end users, minimize cost, and address data residency requirements for compliance. Bucket names range from three to 63 characters in length. They can only contain lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens. Bucket names should not be formatted as an IP address.

To get the list of all S3-related cmdlets, you can use this:

PS C:\> Get-Command *S3*

To create a new bucket, you can use the New-S3Bucket cmdlet as follows:

PS C:\> New-S3Bucket -BucketName myfirstpowershellbucket

If you do not specify the region with the New-S3Bucket cmdlet, it will create the bucket in the region that you specify in the PowerShell profile...
