S3 Replication

Explore the concepts of Amazon S3 replication and how it enhances data availability, fault tolerance, and performance. Understand various replication types like cross-region, same-region, bidirectional, and batch replication, and learn how replication configurations manage data synchronization between buckets.

In computing and data management, replication refers to creating and maintaining copies of data, objects, or systems in multiple locations. The primary goal of replication is to enhance data availability, fault tolerance, and performance by ensuring that identical copies of data are distributed across different locations or systems.

Replication in S3 buckets

Amazon S3 buckets allow us to asynchronously replicate objects from the source to the target bucket. S3 allows us to replicate objects between buckets in similar or different accounts and regions. Also, we can set up multiple destination buckets for replication.
