How can I migrate my Amazon S3 bucket to another AWS Region?
Raw
buckyeah.md

You can't move an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket to another AWS Region

But once you follow all these instructions, and sync your buckets aws s3 sync s3://wrongregion-bestbucketever s3://bestbucketever-temp --source-region us-west-1 --region us-west-2 it says

To claim the bucket name as soon as it's available, you can run a script to continuously check the bucket name's availability.

That script is this (I didn't just issue the CreateBucket API call because my situation is more involved):

buckYeah() { if aws s3api wait bucket-exists --bucket bestbucketever ; then echo "Terraform Time" | mail -s "Bucket Ready" [email protected] ; else buckYeah ; fi ; } ; buckYeah
