Cannot create a DRA for UAE S3 bucket

Question

We are facing an issue regarding adding data repository association between fsx lustre and s3 bukcet based me-central-1 region. While for other regions it works well.

We always this error message: Amazon FSx is unable to validate access to the S3 bucket. Ensure the IAM role or user you are using has s3:Get*, s3:List* and s3:PutObject permissions to the S3 bucket prefix.

We verfied the permession for the bucket and all is good.

The issue is only occur for S3 bucjets based UAE region (me-central-1)

Answer

For cross-account access, adjust the S3 bucket policy to allow FSx operations from the FSx account. Try this to resolve your issue [Unable to validate access to an S3 bucket when creating a data repository association](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/fsx/latest/LustreGuide/s3-validation-error.html)
