Moving Ground Truth state to a new AWS account?

Question

One of our engineers has created a Ground Truth labelling job in their development account.

Since they have exited the business, I would like to delete this account. Before I do that, am I able to import the state of a Ground Truth job into a new aws account? I know that I can fetch the input images and output labels from S3: what I don't know is whether there is additional metadata that's tracked somewhere to understand the progress of the job.

1. You can certainly transfer the input and output data (images and labels) from the S3 buckets associated with the old account to the new account. 
Make sure to:
a. Copy the S3 objects to the new account’s S3 buckets.
b. Ensure that any necessary permissions or bucket policies are updated to allow access from the new account.

2. Metadata and job progress information for Ground Truth jobs is not directly exportable and is managed by the AWS Ground Truth service within the specific AWS account where the job was created. This includes:
a. Job Configuration: Settings such as task type, labeling instructions, and human workforce.
b. Job Status: Current state of the job, including whether it's in progress, completed, or failed.
c. Annotation Progress: Information on how much of the job has been labeled and reviewed.

This metadata is tied to the AWS account and is not transferable between accounts. If the original account is deleted, this metadata will no longer be accessible.

To import the state of a Ground Truth job into a new AWS account, you would need to:

1. Identify the S3 buckets used for the input images and output labels in the original account.
2. Create the same S3 bucket structure in the new account.
3. Copy the input images and output labels from the original account's S3 buckets to the new account's S3 buckets.
4. Create a new Ground Truth labeling job in the new account, using the S3 locations of the copied input and output data.
