Bucket transfer inter-region

Question

I need to transfer files between regions AWS. Bucket South America to Bucket in North Virginia with DataSync.
My files in South America region (source), are in S3 Deep Archive, and I'm going to keep them that way, I'm just going to change regions to reduce storage costs. In the AWS documentation, I understood the costs of DataSync, but about the Deep Archive I was in doubt... I have many files with less than 180 days (300TB), I will pay pro rata for taking them out of the bucket before this deadline or for I keep in the same storage class just transfer the files to another location, no? Because I want to make this change but if you have a pro-rata payment, it's a very high cost.

Accepted Answer

Hi.

I think you could use cross region replication. AWS S3 can replicate objets between diferent AWS Regions [1].

Here in this blog [2] you can see how to do it.

You just need to:
1. Have two buckets in different regions.
2. Enable the Cross Region Replication (CRR)
3. Create an AWS IAM Role.
4.  And Start Testing
 
Hope this can help
