Does aws s3 sync s3://mybucket s3://mybucket2 copy files to local?

Question

I need to copy a (large) s3 bucket to another s3 bucket as part of my deploy process. Does running aws s3 sync s3://mybucket s3://mybucket2 copy the files in mybucket to the local machine where this command is being run? Or do the files stay serverside?

Answer 1

In this command, files (or objects) are being synchronized between two S3 buckets across AWS network and do not get copied to your local machine during the process.
