main.tf

terraform {
  required_providers {
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
    }
  }
}

provider "aws" {
  profile = "default"
  region  = "eu-central-1"
}

resource "aws_s3_bucket" "itinfrasolbucket" {
  bucket = var.bucket_name
  acl = var.acl

  tags = {
    Name = var.bucket_name
  }
}

variable.tf

variable "bucket_name" {
  type = string
}

variable "acl" {
  type = string
  
}

terraform.tfvars

bucket_name = "itinfrasols3bucket"
acl = "private"
terraform init
terraform plan

terraform apply

Result:

terraform.tfvars

bucket_name = "itinfrasols3bucket"
acl = "public-read"
terraform plan
terraform apply

Clean up:

terraform destroy
