‫So as we know S3 Buckets
‫are linked to only one region
‫and so sometimes you are looking
‫to transfer files from all around the world
‫into one specific S3 buckets.
‫And there is a way to speed up the transfer
‫using S3 transfer acceleration.
‫The way it works is that
‫your file is for example
‫being uploaded from the United States
‫into this war bucket in Australia.
‫And so what we'll do is that
‫we'll upload the file into a edge location
‫that is going to be very close to a user in the USA
‫and then using the internal network.
‫The education will transfer the file
‫to the S3 Buckets in Australia
‫in a more reliable and fast connection.
‫So this is the basics of how S3 transfer acceleration works.
‫And this is only used when you want to upload
‫or download a file from this bucket.
‫That is far away from you.
‫The cool thing is that
‫we can test the tool and see how effective it is for us.
‫Using this URL so let's have a go.
‫So I am on the URL address.
‫I had in the slide
‫and as we can see it is going to run some tests
‫of the speed connection.
‫If I did a direct upload into an Amazon S3 bucket
‫in U.S. east one
‫or if I use an S3 accelerated transfer upload
‫and so we'll see the difference
‫and how much performance gain we gain
‫if we are uploading the data
‫in two different S3 buckets around the world.
‫And so to give you an idea
‫I am recording this from Europe
‫and so Northern Virginia is a bit far away from me
‫and so I expect the transfer acceleration
‫to be a bit faster.
‫But again my internet is really good
‫so it really depends on where you are located
‫and the type of Internet you have
‫to see if transfer acceleration
‫is worth it for you or not.
‫So as we can see for Virginia
‫using a S3 transfer acceleration
‫is about 13 percent faster
‫and this will also do the test in all the other regions.
‫So we have San Francisco, Oregon, Dublin, Frankfurt,
‫Tokyo, Seoul, Mumbai, Ohio, Canada and so on.
‫So I wait for the test to be over
‫and get back to you with the results
‫so if we look at the results
‫of these S3 transfer acceleration
‫I can see that I am faster in San Francisco,
‫Oregon, Dublin I'm actually faster pretty much everywhere.
‫So this is for us a way to tell us that
‫S3 transfer acceleration
‫is a really really good way
‫to speed up the downloads into Amazon history
‫and the upload as well.
‫And so it would be something you would be using
‫if you had a global application
‫that needs to upload files
‫into a specific Amazon S3 bucket.
‫So hope you liked it
‫and I will see you in the next lecture.
