Buckets created in AF-South-1 cannot be accessed through global endpoint

Question

Hello Guys,   
  
I have created few buckets in the new Cape Town region.  I notice that these buckets are not accessible by the Global S3 endpoint. For example   :   
**https:.s3.amazonaws.com**   
This give an IllegalConstraintException with the message   
**The af-south-1 location constraint is incompatible for the region specific endpoint this request was sent to.**  
Access to these buckets is only allowed using the region endpoint   
https:.s3.af-south-1.amazonaws.com   
  
However this is not the case with the buckets created in other regions for example ,  Ireland or Mumbai.     
  
Requesting guidance on how to access the buckets created in Cape Town region using the global endpoint.    
  
Regards,  
Satish

Answer

Hello Satish,  
  
Regions launched after 2019-03-20 do not support the legacy global endpoint. This includes the AWS region in Cape Town.  
  
The change, as well as the correct URIs to use, are documented on the following page:  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/VirtualHosting.html#VirtualHostingBackwardsCompatibility

We encourage all customers to make use of the awscli or our SDKs, which are available in many programming languages.  
  
Thank you,  
.Robert

Also please note that "s3.amazonaws.com" is a standard endpoint address but special case for  U.S. East North Virginia you cannot use for other regions.

Answer

I had an issue using aws cli 1 on amazon linux 2 giving me the same error mentioned by OP. I removed aws cli1 and install version 2. I was then able to use the s3 buckets in CT as normal.
