s3rsync

s3rsync is a simple tool that keeps in sync local files with a bucket on AWS S3 and vice versa.

Goal and Features

The main goals of s3rsync are:

• Simple to use CLI tool
• Minimizing outbound traffic to S3, reducing outbound bandwidth usage.
• Minimizing inbound traffic from S3, thus reducing the cost charged by AWS.

s3rsync has a basic set of features which keeps the tools simple, lean and easy to use:

• Sync a local file to a remote S3 object
• Sync a remote S3 object to a local file
• Only transfer minimal part of a file (chunks) to reduce bandwidth and AWS cost
• Easy to use CLI interface

Install

The installation is extremely simple via npm (I have only teste don Linux and MacOS).

npm install -g @profmancusoa/s3rsync

Sync a local file to remote S3 object

s3rsync sync -cs 1048576 file://my_local_file s3://my-bucket 

This command will synchronize the local file my_local_file with the remote bucket my-bucket

The first time all the file content will be uploaded to the S3 bucket as a series of chunks of 1MB size (-cs option)

For each subsequent synchronization operation only the modified chunks (if any) will be uploaded.

Sync a remote S3 object to a local file

Descrivi come usare il tuo tool e fornisce esempi pratici.

s3rsync sync s3://my-bucket file://my_local_file  

This command will synchronize a remote S3 object present in the bucket my-bucket to a local file named my_local_file.

If the local file is not present, then all the chunks will be downloaded.

For each subsequent synchronization operation only the modified chunks (if any) will be downloaded.

Please note that the -cs option is not required in such scenario as the tool will figure it out by itself.
