Lab description

Amazon S3 Replication allows you to replicate objects from one S3 bucket to another. Once a replication rule is configured, the replication process is automatic and asynchronous, ensuring that both source and destination buckets remain in sync.

You can choose to replicate objects to a different AWS account, to a different region, or within the same region. Cross-region replication is commonly used for disaster recovery and reducing latency, while same-region replication can used for aggregating data and data sovereignty requirements.

This lab will guide you through the process of creating an Amazon S3 Replication Rule and replicating a static webpage hosted on a source S3 bucket to a destination S3 bucket. You will also learn how to configure a one-time replication using Amazon S3 Batch Operations to replicate existing objects from the source bucket to the destination bucket.

Learning objectives
