Issue description
You see this error when trying to create a bucket:
409 BucketAlreadyExists, The requested bucket name is not available. The bucket namespace is shared by all users of the system. Please select a different name and try again.
Solution
Bucket names are unique across the entire Object Storage, so you cannot create two buckets with the same name, even in different folders of different clouds. Specify a different bucket name and try again.
For more details about naming buckets, see the documentation.
