  description: '1 operations from the Amazon S3 REST API, generated from the authoritative service model.


    S3 identifies these operations by the `location` query subresource, which is declared as a required
    query parameter on each one because an OpenAPI path cannot carry a query string.

      description: Using the GetBucketLocation operation is no longer a best practice. To return the Region
        that a bucket resides in, we recommend that you use the HeadBucket operation instead. For backward
        compatibility, Amazon S3 continues to support the GetBucketLocation operation. Returns the Region
        the bucket resides in. You set the bucket's Region using the LocationConstraint request parameter
        in a CreateBucket request. For more information, see CreateBucket. In a bucket's home Region,
        calls to the GetBucketLocation operation are governed by the bucket's policy. In other Regions,
        the bucket policy doesn't apply, which means that cross-account access won't be authorized. However,
        calls to the HeadBucket operation always return the bucket’s location through an HTTP response
        header, whether access to the bucket is authorized or not. Therefore, we recommend using the HeadBucket
        operation for bucket Region discovery and to avoid using the GetBucketLocation operation. When
        you use this API operation with an access point, provide the alias of the access point in place
        of the bucket name. When you use this API operation with an Object Lambda access point, provide
