How do I run a lambda upon new bucket creation? I looked at supported S3 event types but couldn't find one for BucketCreated or equivalent.
Can CloudWatch help in this case?
- Note that you may be going in a bad design direction if you have a need for an event on bucket creation. "Amazon S3 is focused on get, put, list, and delete operations. Because bucket operations work against a centralized, global resource space, it is not appropriate to create or delete buckets on the high-availability code path of your application. It is better to create or delete buckets in a separate initialization or setup routine that you run less often."Michael - sqlbot– Michael - sqlbot2019-01-24 16:19:09 +00:00Commented Jan 24, 2019 at 16:19
- @Michael-sqlbot the consumption of the event is not in a critical functional path; it is for security monitoring and enforcement purposesPerennialN00b– PerennialN00b2019-01-28 19:30:15 +00:00Commented Jan 28, 2019 at 19:30

You can combine CloudTrail with CloudWatch to create an Event when a new S3 bucket is created. This example describes exactly that: CloudWatch Event Examples (down the bottom under Events for Services Not Listed).
Hope that helps :)
- Thanks. I'll give this a spin shortly and confirm.PerennialN00b– PerennialN00b2019-01-23 21:58:00 +00:00Commented Jan 23, 2019 at 21:58
