    Provides details about a specific S3 bucket.

    This resource may prove useful when setting up a Route53 record, or an origin for a CloudFront Distribution.

    Example Usage

    Route53 Record

    import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

const selected = aws.s3.getBucket({
    bucket: "bucket.test.com",
});
const testZone = aws.route53.getZone({
    name: "test.com.",
});
const example = new aws.route53.Record("example", {
    zoneId: testZone.then(testZone => testZone.id),
    name: "bucket",
    type: aws.route53.RecordType.A,
    aliases: [{
        name: selected.then(selected => selected.websiteDomain),
        zoneId: selected.then(selected => selected.hostedZoneId),
    }],
});

    import pulumi

    name="bucket",
    type=aws.route53.RecordType.A,
    aliases=[{
        "name": selected.website_domain,
        "zone_id": selected.hosted_zone_id,
    }])

    Using getBucket

    Two invocation forms are available. The direct form accepts plain arguments and either blocks until the result value is available, or returns a Promise-wrapped result. The output form accepts Input-wrapped arguments and returns an Output-wrapped result.

    function getBucket(args: GetBucketArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Promise<GetBucketResult>
function getBucketOutput(args: GetBucketOutputArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Output<GetBucketResult>
    def get_bucket(bucket: Optional[str] = None,
               opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> GetBucketResult
def get_bucket_output(bucket: Optional[pulumi.Input[str]] = None,
               opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> Output[GetBucketResult]
    func LookupBucket(ctx *Context, args *LookupBucketArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) (*LookupBucketResult, error)
func LookupBucketOutput(ctx *Context, args *LookupBucketOutputArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) LookupBucketResultOutput

    > Note: This function is named LookupBucket in the Go SDK.
