Call PutBucket to create a bucket - Object Storage Service

Creates a bucket.

Usage notes

To create a bucket, you must have the oss:PutBucket permission. For more information, see Attach a custom policy to a RAM user.
You can create up to 100 buckets in the same region by using an Alibaba Cloud account.
Each region can be accessed by using the corresponding endpoints. For more information, see Regions and endpoints.
If multiple PutBucket operations are called from the same Alibaba Cloud account to create the same bucket, the first operation creates the bucket and subsequent operations modify the metadata of the bucket. Exercise caution when you call multiple PutBucket operations on the same bucket, because doing so can cause accidental data overwriting.
