Transfer Acceleration

Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration enables fast, easy, and secure transfers of files over long distances between your client and your Amazon S3 bucket.

S3 Transfer Acceleration leverages Amazon CloudFront’s globally distributed AWS Edge Locations.

Used to accelerate object uploads to S3 over long distances (latency).

Transfer acceleration is as secure as a direct upload to S3.

You are charged only if there was a benefit in transfer times.

Need to enable transfer acceleration on the S3 bucket.

Cannot be disabled, can only be suspended.

May take up to 30 minutes to implement.

URL is: <bucketname>.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com.

Bucket names must be DNS compliance and cannot have periods between labels.

Now HIPAA compliant.

You can use multipart uploads with transfer acceleration.

Must use one of the following endpoints:

.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com.

.s3-accelerate.dualstack.amazonaws.com (dual-stack option).

S3 Transfer Acceleration supports all bucket level features including multipart uploads.
