Supported transfers in the same AWS Region

There are no restrictions when transferring data within the same AWS Region (including opt-in Regions). For more information, see AWS Regions supported by DataSync.

Supported transfers between AWS Regions

Note the following when transferring data between AWS Regions supported by DataSync:

  • When transferring between AWS storage services in different AWS Regions, one of the two locations must be in the Region where you're using DataSync.

  • You can't transfer across Regions with an NFS, SMB, HDFS, or object storage location. In these situations, both of your transfer locations must be in the same Region where you activate your DataSync agent.

  • With AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, you can:

    • Transfer between the AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West) Regions.

    • Transfer between an AWS GovCloud (US) Region and commercial AWS Region, such as US East (N. Virginia). This type of transfer requires an agent.

Important

You pay for data transferred between AWS Regions. This transfer is billed as data transfer out from the source to destination Region. For more information, see AWS DataSync Pricing.

Determining if your transfer requires a DataSync agent

Depending on your transfer scenario, you might need a DataSync agent. For more information, see Do I need an AWS DataSync agent?
