Is it possible to run aws s3 sync with boto3?

Question

AWS CLI provides aws s3 sync command to sync data between 2 locations.

Is there an equivalent command in boto3 ?

I can't find this kind of command in boto3 documentation .

Answer 1

Boto3 does not include s3 sync capabilities. That is only available via the AWS CLI tool.

Interestingly, there's an open issue at boto's github that dates back to... 2015.

I guess your best bet is to run the aws s3 sync from within a Python script.

Here's a sample implementation .

Alternatively, you might want to explore the DataSync client .
