AWS DataSync

• Move large amount of data to and from
  • On-premises / other cloud to AWS (NFS, SMB, HDFS, S3, …) - needs agent
  • AWS to AWS (different storage services) - no agent needed
• Can synchronize to:
  • Amazon S3 (any storage classes, including Glacier)
  • Amazon EFS
  • Amazon FSx
• Replication tasks can be scheduled hourly, daily, weekly - not continuous
• File permissions and metadata are preserved (NFS POSIX, SMB, …)
• One agent task can use 10 Gbps, can setup a bandwidth limit

NFS / SMB to AWS (S3, EFS, FSx, …)

Notice the usage of Snowcone if needed.
