Migrating large amounts of data, like 4-5 TB, between AWS accounts can be cumbersome with traditional methods like S3 cp or cross-account replication. AWS DataSync streamlines this process, performing data transfers between AWS services directly and avoiding the need for intermediate storage. Its ability to parallelize transfers makes it significantly faster, handling metadata, object tags, and ACLs automatically. To prepare, ensure both source and destination buckets are in the same region and set up appropriate IAM roles and permissions for cross-account access prior to the migration.
AWS DataSync is built for bulk movement of data, capable of transferring terabytes to petabytes efficiently without middleman storage, making it ideal for significant data migrations.
DataSync parallelizes data transfers, significantly speeding up the process, and automatically manages metadata, object tags, and ACLs, allowing for incremental runs with minimal downtime.
