S3 Transfer Acceleration

https://github.com/awsdocs/amazon-s3-developer-guide/blob/master/doc_source/transfer-acceleration.md

Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration enables fast, easy, and secure transfers of files over long distances between your client and an S3 bucket. Transfer Acceleration takes advantage of Amazon CloudFront’s globally distributed edge locations. As the data arrives at an edge location, data is routed to Amazon S3 over an optimized network path.

Why Use Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration?

You might want to use Transfer Acceleration on a bucket for various reasons, including the following:

  • You have customers that upload to a centralized bucket from all over the world.
  • You transfer gigabytes to terabytes of data on a regular basis across continents.
  • You are unable to utilize all of your available bandwidth over the Internet when uploading to Amazon S3.
