When naming and folders, the name must:
be unique throughout the entire IONOS S3 Object Storage
consist of 3 to 63 digits
start with a letter or a number
consist of lower case letters (a-z) and numbers (0-9)
The use of hyphens (-), periods (.), and underscores (_) is conditional. The name must not:
end with a period, hyphen, or underscore.
consist of multiple periods in a row (...)
contain hyphens next to periods.
have the format of an IPv4 address (e. g. 192.168.1.4).
contain underscores if the bucket is to be used for auto-tiering later.
Prerequisites: Make sure you are logged on to the IONOS S3 Object Storage using the Object Storage Management Console.

2. In Bucket Name, enter a name that adheres to the naming convention for buckets and objects.

The bucket is created unless a bucket with the same name already exists in the IONOS S3 Object Storage.
Storage Policy and Region cannot be changed after a bucket has been created.
Prerequisites: Make sure you are logged on to the IONOS S3 Object Storage using the Object Storage Management Console. Only bucket owners can create a folder.
