Replication

This document provides instructions to manage Replication using the CLI. Additionally, these tasks can also be performed using the DCD and IONOS Object Storage API.

Prerequisites:

Set up the AWS CLI by following the installation instructions.
Make sure to consider the supported Endpoints.
Versioning must be enabled for source and destination buckets.

Commands

Create the file replication_configuration.json with the following content:

    "Role": "this field is ignored",
    "Rules": [
        {
            "Status": "Enabled",
            "Prefix": "",
            "Destination": {
                "Bucket": "arn:aws:s3:::my-destination-bucket"
            }
        }
    ]

Enable replication from my-source-bucket to my-destination-bucket (use the endpoint of the source bucket):

aws s3api put-bucket-replication --bucket my-source-bucket --replication-configuration file://replication_configuration.json --endpoint-url https://s3.eu-central-2.ionoscloud.com

Retrieve the replication configuration:

aws s3api get-bucket-replication --bucket my-source-bucket  --endpoint-url https://s3.eu-central-2.ionoscloud.com

Delete the replication configuration:

aws s3api delete-bucket-replication --bucket my-source-bucket  --endpoint-url https://s3.eu-central-2.ionoscloud.com

Info: It takes up to a few minutes for the deletion of a replication rule to propagate fully.
