S3Client copyObject cross regiond

Question

I'm trying to copy files between 2 S3 buckets on different regions:

US_EAST_1 ---> EU_CENTRAL_1

Using the following command:

s3client.copyObject(sourceBucket, sourceFile, DestBucket, DestFile);

I initiate the s3client without providing a region to allow it to work with both regions, but I'm getting the following error:

Caused by: com.amazonaws.services.s3.model.AmazonS3Exception: The bucket you are attempting to access must be addressed using the specified endpoint. Please send all future requests to this endpoint. (Service: Amazon S3; Status Code: 301; Error Code: PermanentRedirect; Request ID: C2E6D084FF257437), S3 Extended Request ID: rXDTuqPSCCKWoF8luScpL+/po93oEQC2VSNUBQtSLBh5q8yEAO0WwK8FnBMPGEZQjS+zwkkHWBg= at com.amazonaws.http.AmazonHttpClient.handleErrorResponse(AmazonHttpClient.java:1305) at com.amazonaws.http.AmazonHttpClient.executeOneRequest(AmazonHttpClient.java:852) at com.amazonaws.http.AmazonHttpClient.executeHelper(AmazonHttpClient.java:630) at com.amazonaws.http.AmazonHttpClient.doExecute(AmazonHttpClient.java:405) at com.amazonaws.http.AmazonHttpClient.executeWithTimer(AmazonHttpClient.java:367) at com.amazonaws.http.AmazonHttpClient.execute(AmazonHttpClient.java:318) at com.amazonaws.services.s3.AmazonS3Client.invoke(AmazonS3Client.java:3787) at com.amazonaws.services.s3.AmazonS3Client.copyObject(AmazonS3Client.java:1530) at com.amazonaws.services.s3.AmazonS3Client.copyObject(AmazonS3Client.java:1487)

I'm using 'aws-java-sdk' version: '1.11.7'

How to overcome this error?

Answer 1

The client cannot be configured to "work in both regions". It must be configured with a region so it works in a single region.

When copying objects between buckets (between regions), set the client to the target region. Then, specify the source and target buckets.
