# AWS::S3::Bucket MetadataTableConfiguration
<a name="aws-properties-s3-bucket-metadatatableconfiguration"></a>

**Important**  
 We recommend that you create your S3 Metadata configurations by using the V2 [ MetadataConfiguration](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/AWSCloudFormation/latest/TemplateReference/aws-properties-s3-bucket-metadataconfiguration.html) resource type. We no longer recommend using the V1 `MetadataTableConfiguration` resource type.   
If you created your S3 Metadata configuration before July 15, 2025, we recommend that you delete and re-create your configuration by using the [ MetadataConfiguration](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/AWSCloudFormation/latest/TemplateReference/aws-properties-s3-bucket-metadataconfiguration.html) resource type so that you can expire journal table records and create a live inventory table.

Creates a V1 S3 Metadata configuration for a general purpose bucket. For more information, see [Accelerating data discovery with S3 Metadata](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/metadata-tables-overview.html) in the *Amazon S3 User Guide*.

## Syntax
<a name="aws-properties-s3-bucket-metadatatableconfiguration-syntax"></a>

To declare this entity in your Amazon CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

### JSON
<a name="aws-properties-s3-bucket-metadatatableconfiguration-syntax.json"></a>

```
{
  "[S3TablesDestination](#cfn-s3-bucket-metadatatableconfiguration-s3tablesdestination)" : {{S3TablesDestination}}
}
```

### YAML
<a name="aws-properties-s3-bucket-metadatatableconfiguration-syntax.yaml"></a>

```
  [S3TablesDestination](#cfn-s3-bucket-metadatatableconfiguration-s3tablesdestination): {{
    S3TablesDestination}}
```

## Properties
<a name="aws-properties-s3-bucket-metadatatableconfiguration-properties"></a>

`S3TablesDestination`  <a name="cfn-s3-bucket-metadatatableconfiguration-s3tablesdestination"></a>
 The destination information for the metadata table configuration. The destination table bucket must be in the same Region and Amazon Web Services account as the general purpose bucket. The specified metadata table name must be unique within the `aws_s3_metadata` namespace in the destination table bucket.   
*Required*: Yes  
*Type*: [S3TablesDestination](aws-properties-s3-bucket-s3tablesdestination.md)  
*Update requires*: [No interruption](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/using-cfn-updating-stacks-update-behaviors.html#update-no-interrupt)

## Examples

### Create metadata table configuration
<a name="aws-properties-s3-bucket-metadatatableconfiguration--examples--Create_metadata_table_configuration"></a>

The following example creates an S3 Metadata configuration for the specified general purpose bucket. To use this example, replace ` amzn-s3-demo-table-bucket ` with the name of the table bucket where you want to store your metadata table, replace ` amzn-s3-demo-bucket1 ` with the name of your general purpose bucket, and replace `my_metadata_table_name` with the name that you want to use for your metadata table.
