I want S3 buckets in us-east-1 so i created 3 buckets. At the same time these 3 buckets all regions also created. Now I have each region 3 buckets is there. I want one region onley.
Amazon S3 is a global service but the buckets you create are region specific, can you clarify what your actual query is ?
Sorry I can’t I review and answer.
Buckets are only created in the region of your choice. The s3 console shows buckets from all regions. It lists the region the bucket exists in. S3 doesn’t create buckets in other regions automatically
S3 buckets are created in a specific AWS region and exist only in that region. While the S3 console displays buckets from all regions in a consolidated view, each individual bucket is associated with and exists in just one region. This is supported by the document which mentions that "when you create an Amazon S3 bucket, it is created in a specific AWS region that you choose" and "each S3 bucket is associated with a single region and exists only in that region."
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/UsingBucket.html
The bucket name must be unique across all existing bucket names in Amazon S3 within a partition (group of regions), which is why you can see all buckets listed in the console regardless of their region. However, the actual bucket and its contents are only stored in the specific region where it was created.
The AWS Region Column in the S3 console helps identify which region each bucket belongs to, making it clear where each bucket is actually located despite being displayed in a consolidated view.

I guess you are confused because you see the three buckets even when you are changing to different AWS regions from the console. If you look at the AWS Region column in the S3 console, beside the AWS S3 bucket names ,you will see the AWS region in which the bucket is present. The buckets are still only in us-east-1 region .
