This post is created to show the best example of a bad API design. AWS S3 is probably one of the most used services globally. Say you want to create a bucket in us-east-2, the way to do it is basically to send `us-east-2` as a location_constraint as part of your `create_bucket` payload. You want to do the same for `us-east-1`? You cannot send it as part of `location_constraint`, it will fail with the following message!Aws::S3::Errors::InvalidLocationConstraint: The specified location-constraint is not validYou must not send anything to get it in `us-east-1`.Source: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_CreateBu...
