 :warning: **Note**: If you set `force_destroy` to false, and run a `terraform destroy`, it will fail. In that case empty the s3 buckets from the aws s3 console, and re run `terraform destroy`.
 
+:warning: **Note**: A notice from Amazon: [Amazon S3 will automatically enable S3 Block Public Access and disable access control lists for all new buckets starting in April 2023](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2022/12/amazon-s3-automatically-enable-block-public-access-disable-access-control-lists-buckets-april-2023/). To accomodate this acl setting was removed for buckets and the `enable_acl` variable was introduced and set to false (default). If the requirement is to provide ACL with bucket ownership conrols for the bucket, then set the `enable_acl` variable to true.
