In conventional methods, we will do the migrations manually across the servers, which is hectic in a way. In AWS we have a new feature called AWS DataSync which will transfer the data in S3 buckets between two AWS instances, regions, accounts, etc. With DataSync we can do a one-time data transfer and also can schedule the migration whenever we needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will see some examples of data transfer below, thus we can have a proper understanding of the AWS DataSync.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Transferring data within the same Amazon S3 account<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Select the DataSync page in the AWS console and create a task using the \u2018Task\u2019 option in the left menu bar. Then choose \u2018Create a new location\u2019 and for location type select \u2018Amazon S3\u2019 from the source location option.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After that, we have to select the AWS region, S3 bucket. Storage class and the directory from which we have to transfer the data. Then for the IAM role, we have to click on the Autogenerate button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same is followed in destination location options. Choose the destination accordingly with the Location type as \u2018Amazon S3\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After that we need to name the task that we are going to execute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the last check of the configurations, we have input earlier, we need to start the task by clicking on the \u2018Create Task\u2019 button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Transferring data across accounts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first step we need to do is<strong> <\/strong>to create the necessary IAM role in the destination AWS account. This is to access the source S3 bucket, then we need to attach a new policy for the created IAM role in the source S3 bucket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><div class=\"pcrstb-wrap\"><table><tbody><tr><td>{&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;Version&#8221;: &#8220;2012-10-17&#8221;,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;Statement&#8221;: [&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;Action&#8221;: [&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;s3:GetBucketLocation&#8221;,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;s3:ListBucket&#8221;,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;],&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;Effect&#8221;: &#8220;Allow&#8221;,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;Resource&#8221;: &#8220;arn:aws:s3:::SOURCEBUCKET&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;},&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;Action&#8221;: [&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;s3:AbortMultipartUpload&#8221;,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;s3:DeleteObject&#8221;,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;s3:GetObject&#8221;,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;s3:ListMultipartUploadParts&#8221;,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;s3:PutObjectTagging&#8221;,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;s3:GetObjectTagging&#8221;,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;s3:PutObject&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;],&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;Effect&#8221;: &#8220;Allow&#8221;,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;Resource&#8221;: &#8220;arn:aws:s3:::SOURCEBUCKET\/*&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;]}<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After that, we need to add the trust relationship in the IAM role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><div class=\"pcrstb-wrap\"><table><tbody><tr><td>{&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;Version&#8221;: &#8220;2012-10-17&#8221;,&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;Statement&#8221;: [&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;Effect&#8221;: &#8220;Allow&#8221;,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;Principal&#8221;: {&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;Service&#8221;: &#8220;datasync.amazonaws.com&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;},&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;Action&#8221;: &#8220;sts:AssumeRole&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}&nbsp;&nbsp;]}<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the AWS command line, we need to create S3 bucket location in the source for DataSync.
