Replicate Data between AWS Regions Using Amazon S3 Replication

[21/100] #100DaysOfCloud Today, I created an S3 bucket in one region and upload an object to it and replicated it to another bucket in another region using the S3 Replication rule.

  • Replication enables automatic, asynchronous copying of objects across Amazon S3 buckets. Buckets that are configured for object replication can be owned by the same AWS account or by different accounts. You can replicate objects to a single destination bucket or to multiple destination buckets. The destination buckets can be in different AWS Regions or within the same Region as the source bucket.

  • To automatically replicate new objects as they are written to the bucket, use live replication, such as Cross-Region Replication (CRR). To replicate existing objects to a different bucket on demand, use S3 Batch Replication.

You can try to create a S3 bucket in one region and upload an object to it and replicate it to another bucket in another region using S3 Replication rule by yourself by following the steps from the link below:
