I'm trying to copy data from one s3 bucket to another s3 bucket. In source s3 bucket I've data in recursive folders structure.
How can I copy data to destination s3 bucket in same way data is present in source recursive folder structure manner ?
any suggestions ?
There are few ways to achieve data copy between s3 buckets in recursive way.
Using AWS CLI's sync command:
Eg:
aws s3 sync s3://mybucket-src s3://mybucket-target --exclude *.tmp
Using CopyObject API when you're working with AWS SDK. This can be done across given programming languages as documented here.

I want to use the AWS S3 sync command to sync a large bucket with another bucket.
I found this answer that say that the files from the bucket synced over the AWS backbone and are not copied to the local machine but I can't find a reference anywhere in the documentation. Does anyone has a proof for this behavior? any formal documentation that explains how it works?
I tried to find something in the documentation but nothing there.
To learn more about the sync command, check CLI docs. You can directly refer to the section named -
Sync from S3 bucket to another S3 bucket
The following sync command syncs objects to a specified bucket and
prefix from objects in another specified bucket and prefix by copying
s3 objects. An s3 object will require copying if one of the following
conditions is true:
The s3 object does not exist in the specified bucket and prefix
destination.
The sizes of the two s3 objects differ.
The last modified time of the source is newer than the last modified time of the destination.
Use the S3 replication capability if you only want to replicate the data that moves from bucket1 to bucket2.
I want to copy my folder/object from one s3 bucket to other. How can I possible to copy?
You cam use the aws s3 sync cli command:
aws s3 sync s3://DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET-SOURCE s3://DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET-TARGET
See the documentation here : S3 CLI Documentation
If you have a large amount of data check here: What's the best way to transfer large amounts of data from one Amazon S3 bucket to another?
I have a log archive bucket, and that bucket has 2.5m+ objects.
I am looking to download some specific time period files. For this I have tried different methods but all of them are failing.
My observation is those queries start from oldest file, but the files I seek are the newest ones. So it takes forever to find them.
aws s3 sync s3://mybucket . --exclude "*" --include "2021.12.2*" --include "2021.12.3*" --include "2022.01.01*"
Am I doing something wrong?
Is it possible to make these query start from newest files so it might take less time to complete?
I also tried using S3 Browser and CloudBerry. Same problem. Tried with a EC2 that is inside the same AWS network. Same problem.
2.5m+ objects in an Amazon S3 bucket is indeed a large number of objects!
When listing the contents of an Amazon S3 bucket, the S3 API only returns 1000 objects per API call. Therefore, when the AWS CLI (or CloudBerry, etc) is listing the objects in the S3 bucket it requires 2500+ API calls. This is most probably the reason why the request is taking so long (and possibly failing due to lack of memory to store the results).
You can possibly reduce the time by specifying a Prefix, which reduces the number of objects returned from the API calls. This would help if the objects you want to copy are all in a sub-folder.
Failing that, you could use Amazon S3 Inventory, which can provide a daily or weekly CSV file listing all objects. You could then extract from that CSV file a list of objects you want to copy (eg use Excel or write a program to parse the file). Then, specifically copy those objects using aws s3 cp or from a programming language. For example, a Python program could parse the script and then use download_file() to download each of the desired objects.
The simple fact is that a flat-structure Amazon S3 bucket with 2.5m+ objects will always be difficult to list. If possible, I would encourage you to use 'folders' to structure the bucket so that you would only need to list portions of the bucket at a time.
I write an AWS lambda function in Node.js for image resizing and trigger it when images upload.
I have already more than 1,000,000 images existing in bucket.
I want to run this lambda function on that images but not find anything till yet.
How can I run AWS lamdba function on existing images of S3 bucket?
Note:- I know this question already asked on Stack overflow, but issue is that no solution of them given till yet
Unfortunately, Lambda cannot be triggered automatically for objects that are already existing in a S3 bucket.
You will have to invoke your Lambda function manually for each image in your S3 bucket.
First, you will need to list existing objects in your S3 bucket using the ListObjectsV2 action.
For each object in your S3 bucket, you must then invoke your Lambda function and provide the S3 object's information as the Payload.
Yes , it's completely true that lambda cannot be triggered by objects already present there in your s3 bucket, but invoking your lambda manually for each object is a completely dumb idea.
With some clever techniques you can perform your tasks on those images easily :
The hard way is, make a program locally that exactly does the same thing as your lambda function but add two more things, firstly you have to iterate over each object in your bucket, then perform your code on it and then save it to destination path of s3 after resizing. i.e, for all images already stored in your s3 bucket , instead of using lambda, you are resizing the images locally in your computer and saving them back to s3 destination.
The easiest way is, first make sure that you have configured s3 notification's event type to be Object Created (All) as trigger for your lambda.
Then after this, move all your already stored images to a new temporary bucket, and then move those images back to the original bucket, this is how your lambda will get triggered for each image automatically. You can do the moving task easily by using sdk's provided by AWS. For example, for moving files using boto3 in python, you can refer this link to moving example in python using boto3
Instead of using moving , i.e cut and paste , you can use copy and paste commands too.
In addition to Mausam Sharma's comment you can run the copy between buckets using the aws cli:
aws s3 sync s3://SOURCE-BUCKET-NAME s3://DESTINATION-BUCKET-NAME --source-region SOURCE-REGION-NAME --region DESTINATION-REGION-NAME
from here:
https://medium.com/tensult/copy-s3-bucket-objects-across-aws-accounts-e46c15c4b9e1
You can simply copy back to the same bucket with the CLI which will replace the original file with itself and then run the lambda as a result.
aws s3 copy s3://SOURCE-BUCKET-NAME s3://SOURCE-BUCKET-NAME --recursive
You can also include/exclude glob patterns which can be used to selectively run against say a particular day, or specific extensions etc.
aws s3 copy s3://SOURCE-BUCKET-NAME s3://SOURCE-BUCKET-NAME --recursive --exclude "*" --include "2020-01-15*"
It's worth noting that like many of the other answers here, this will incur costs on s3 for read/write etc, so cautiously apply this in the event of buckets containing lots of files.
I am trying to execute the following command using AWS CLI on an S3 bucket:
aws s3 ls s3://bucket name/folder_name --summarize --human-readable --recursive
I am trying to get the size of the folder, but given there are multiple levels and a huge number of files, it running for hours.
Is there an efficient way to quickly get the size at folder level on Amazon S3?
You can use Amazon S3 Inventory:
Amazon S3 inventory provides comma-separated values (CSV) or Apache optimized row columnar (ORC) output files that list your objects and their corresponding metadata on a daily or weekly basis for an S3 bucket or a shared prefix (that is, objects that have names that begin with a common string).
You would need to parse the file, but all information is provided.
It is only updated daily, so if you need something faster then you'd have to make the calls yourself.
