Issue descriptionIssue description

When creating a bucket, you get this error:

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.

SolutionSolution

Bucket names are unique throughout Object Storage, i.e., you cannot create two buckets with the same name, even in different folders of different clouds. Enter a different bucket name and try again.

For more details about naming buckets, see this guide.
