Are S3 buckets region specific?

Question

When we go to S3 in AWS console in \"Global\" option it shows

\"S3 does not require region selection.\"

But when we create new bucket there i

Answer 1

How it works now is that if you are expecting the content to load fast globally, you create a bucket for every region you want your data to load quickly from, but use 'Versioning' to auto duplicate content from one bucket to the other.

Click on one of your buckets, then go to Management, then go to 'Replication'. Follow the instructions to setup a rule that will copy from one bucket to another.

Congratualtion, you now have globally fast content from a single bucket.

I appreciate if this seems a little off-piste, but I think this is what we are all really looking to achieve.
