Framework for secure, scalable, and trackable data transfer for Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) objects and Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) images

Publication date: January 2022

This solution provides secure, scalable, and trackable data transfer for Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) objects and Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) images. This data transfer helps customers expand their businesses globally by easily moving data in and out of AWS China Regions.

The solution’s web console provides an interface for managing the following tasks:

• Transferring Amazon S3 objects between AWS China Regions and AWS Regions

• Transferring data from other cloud providers’ object storage services (including Alibaba Cloud OSS, Tencent COS, and Qiniu Kodo) to Amazon S3

• Transferring objects from Amazon S3 compatible object storage service to Amazon S3

• Transferring Amazon ECR images between AWS China Regions and AWS Regions

• Transferring container images from public container registries (for example, Docker Hub, Google gcr.io, Red Hat Quay.io) to Amazon ECR

Note

If you need to transfer Amazon S3 objects between AWS Regions, we recommend that you use Cross-Region Replication; if you want to transfer Amazon S3 objects within the same AWS Region, we recommend using Same-Region Replication.

This implementation guide describes architectural considerations and configuration steps for deploying Data Transfer Hub in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud. It includes links to an AWS CloudFormation template that launches and configures the AWS services required to deploy this solution using AWS best practices for security and availability.

The guide is intended for IT architects, developers, DevOps, data analysts, and marketing technology professionals who have practical experience architecting in the AWS Cloud.
