How can I make a copy of a dataset from one S3 bucket to another in the same AWS account?
I have a large dataset stored in an Amazon S3 bucket named source bucket and I need to make a copy of this dataset into another S3 bucket named destination Bucket within the same AWS account. Explain to me how can I achieve this task programmatically by using AWS SDK or CLI command.
In the context of AWS, here are the steps given:-
Using AWS CLI
You can use the “aws S3 cp” command to copy objects between S3 buckets. Here is an example given:-
#!/bin/bash
# Define source and destination bucket names
Source_bucket=”source-bucket”
Destination_bucket=”destination-bucket”# Function to copy objects from source bucket to destination bucket
Function copy_objects {
# List objects in source bucket
Objects=$(aws s3 ls “s3://${source_bucket}/” –recursive | awk ‘{print $4}’)
If [ -z “$objects” ]; then
Echo “No objects found in ${source_bucket}”
Exit 1
Fi
# Loop through each object and copy to destination bucket
For object in $objects; do
# Replace spaces with in object names for correct URL encoding
Encoded_object=$(echo “$object” | sed ‘s/ / /g’)
# Copy object to destination bucket
Aws s3 cp “s3://${source_bucket}/${encoded_object}” “s3://${destination_bucket}/${encoded_object}” –quiet
If [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
Echo “Copied: ${object}”
Else
Echo “Error copying: ${object}”
Fi
Done
}
# Call copy_objects function
Copy_objects
This command would copy all the objects from the source bucket to the destination Bucket recursively.
Using AWS SDK
Here is a Python coding snippet given by using Boto 3 to copy objects between S3 buckets:-
Import boto3
# Initialize S3 client
S3_client = boto3.client(‘s3’)
Def copy_objects(source_bucket, destination_bucket):
Try:
Response = s3_client.list_objects_v2(Bucket=source_bucket)
If ‘Contents’ in response:
For obj in response[‘Contents’]:
Source_key = obj[‘Key’]
Destination_key = source_key # You can modify the destination key if needed
Copy_source = {‘Bucket’: source_bucket, ‘Key’: source_key}
S3_client.copy_object(CopySource=copy_source, Bucket=destination_bucket, Key=destination_key)
Print(f”Successfully copied {source_key} to {destination_key}”)
Else:
Print(f”No objects found in {source_bucket}”)
Except Exception as e:
Print(f”Error copying objects: {e}”)
# Example usage
If __name__ == “__main__”:
Source_bucket = ‘source-bucket’
Destination_bucket = ‘destination-bucket’
Copy_objects(source_bucket, destination_bucket)
Here is the example given in HTML of how you can copy an object from one Amazon S3 bucket to another:-
<meta</span> charset=”UTF-8”>
<meta</span> name=”viewport” content=”width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0”>
Copy S3 Objects
Here is also the Python script given:-
#!/usr/bin/env python3
Import cgi
Import subprocess
# Get form data
Form = cgi.FieldStorage()
Source_bucket = form.getvalue(‘source_bucket’)
Destination_bucket = form.getvalue(‘destination_bucket’)
# Function to copy S3 objects using AWS CLI
Def copy_s3_objects(source_bucket, destination_bucket):
Try:
# Run AWS CLI command to copy objects Command = f”aws s3 cp s3://{source_bucket}/ s3://{destination_bucket}/ --recursive”
Process = subprocess.Popen(command, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
Stdout, stderr = process.communicate()
# Check if the copy was successful
If process.returncode == 0:
Return f”Objects copied successfully from {source_bucket} to {destination_bucket}”
Else:
Return f”Error copying objects: {stderr.decode(‘utf-8’)}”
Except Exception as e:
Return f”Error: {e}”
# Print HTML content
Print(“Content-Type: text/html
”)
Print(“”)
Print(“Copy S3 Objects”)
Print(“”)
Print(“Copy S3 Objects”)
If source_bucket and destination_bucket:
Result = copy_s3_objects(source_bucket, destination_bucket)
Print(f”{result}”)
Print(“”)
Print(“”)
