In the last post I enabled S3 Bucket Keys on my S3 bucket to reduce costs.

In this post, I need to fix a few things in my S3, KMS and IAM policies related to cross-account deployments.

Renaming buckets to simplify policy deployments

I want to rename my bucket to make it easier to calculate the name of the bucket when deploying buckets.

I want my bucket name, domain name, and repo name to match to some degree — or rather one can easily be calculated from the other. That makes policy creation and consistency easier.
