Random S3 Bucket Name Generator with Prefix

This function generates a random S3 bucket name based on a given prefix. The function first creates an S3 client and then generates a random suffix in a loop. It attempts to create a bucket with this name. If the bucket already exists, it catches the exception and continues generating a new random name until an unused name is found.
