Overview

Replicate your enterprise data across regions

Replicate your object data from a source to destination bucket to meet new compliance and disaster recovery needs while also reducing latency. With this feature, replicate objects, along with their metadata and tags, through automatic, asynchronous copying or set up rules to perform bidirectional replication between the source and destination buckets. Replication will also automatically replicate any newly created object or version in the source bucket.

Use cases

Meet disaster recovery requirements

Set up destination buckets across different cloud regions.

Observe data sovereignty laws

Meet compliance laws by storing replicas in destination buckets within the allowable territory.

Meet performance requirements

In use cases requiring low-latency data, replicate data closer to where it is consumed.

Put multiple source data in a single bucket

Replicate data from various regions into one bucket for a single processing source.

Maintain a live copy across environments

Maintain live replication between development and test environments.

Replicate to maintain a backup copy

Protect against accidental deletions by always keeping a backup copy.

Reduce storage costs

Reduce costs by changing the replica storage class and lifecycle policies for the destination bucket.

Change account ownership

Change the replica account ownership independent of the source bucket.

Features
