Feature request: auto create aws bucket

See original GitHub issue

Given:

@aws
region us-west-2
profile default
runtime nodejs10.x
bucket somename

arc deploy should:

Check that bucket somename exists
If bucket somename does not exist, arc should create it in region
If bucket somename exists and is in region us-west-2 continue
If the bucket somename exists and is not in region us-west-2 fail with a handy message saying that the bucket used for deploy must be in the same region.

Why this would be useful

It’s come up a few times in Slack. Also arc deploy, if the bucket doesn’t exist, will show a message from aws saying to make the bucket using the command aws s3 mb s3://someapp but nearly all users will need aws s3 mb s3://someapp --region us-west-2

After discussing further internally, we think this could be made much more viable by auto-creating the bucket and setting/getting the bucket value from SSM (which is where we store the rest of Architect’s app metadata, such as env vars).

I’m not sure when we’ll get to this, but hopefully it’ll be significantly before AWS straight up fixes this issue for CloudFormation once and for all!
