Error when creating S3 bucket using aws cli - Unknown options: --object-ownership, BucketOwnerEnforced

Question

Hey all,

I'm getting this error when trying to create an s3logging bucket using the aws cli following the instructions found here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/create-bucket.html:
```
aws s3api create-bucket \
    --bucket s3logs-us-east-1 \
    --region us-east-1 \
    --object-ownership BucketOwnerEnforced
To see help text, you can run:

aws help
  aws  help
  aws   help

usage: aws [options]   [ ...] [parameters]

Unknown options: --object-ownership, BucketOwnerEnforced
```

This is pretty frustrating as I'm LITERALLY just copying and pasting the example found in the documentation and changing the s3 bucket name.

This is my aws cli version:
```
aws --version
aws-cli/1.19.1 Python/3.9.7 Linux/5.16.15-76051615-generic botocore/1.20.0
```

Any idea what's going wrong here?

Answer

I'm using CLI v2 and also getting the same error. Upon checking the help text for this command in CLI via `aws s3api create-bucket help`, the `object-ownership` option is not there (hence the error) even though the CLIv2 documentation has it as well (https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/s3api/create-bucket.html).

This could either be a documentation issue or an actual CLI bug. You may open an issue for this in github (https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/issues).

For the meantime you can create your s3logging bucket using the `create-bucket` CLI command but without the `object-ownership` option and then just issue another CLI command `put-bucket-ownership-controls`.  More information here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/object-ownership-existing-bucket.html.
