AWS does not support renaming an S3 bucket. If you’ve created a bucket with the incorrect name and would like to rename it, you’d have to first create a new bucket with the appropriate name and copy contents from the old bucket to the new one.
STEP 1: Create new bucket as below where new-bucket-name is the name of the bucket:
aws s3 mb s3://new-bucket-name
STEP 2: Copy all the contents from old bucket to new bucket as below:
aws s3 sync s3://old-bucket-name s3://new-bucket-name
You can also move contents(instead of copying) from old bucket to new bucket as below:
aws s3 mv s3://old-bucket-name s3://new-bucket-name --recursive
STEP 3: Remove old bucket as below:
aws s3 rb --force s3://old-bucket-name
