AWS S3

Why S3

Blob storage

Like a giant hard drive in the cloud

For data you don't need to be able to access right away, see AWS Glacier

cp

aws s3 cp "<s3://url>" "local_destination_path"

Copy it to the Desktop with the same name as in S3

s3-cp() {
   if [ -z "$1" ] ; then
       echo 'Usage: s3-cp <s3://_url>'
       return
   fi
   aws s3 cp "$1" "$HOME/Desktop/$(basename $1)"
}

aws s3 presign

• it makes your file publicly available for anyone with the URL
• I'm not sure why you'd do this?

Sync

Copy from one S3 bucket to another

• prod to staging

aws s3 sync s3://DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET-SOURCE s3://DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET-TARGET
