Question

How can you verify if S3 Transfer Acceleration is working correctly?

Answer 1

You can check if Transfer Acceleration is enabled on your bucket using the AWS CLI or SDKs, and then perform a transfer speed test.

AWS CLI to check the status:

aws s3api get-bucket-accelerate-configuration --bucket my-bucket 

Output should indicate:

{
    "Status": "Enabled"
} 

Transfer Speed Test: AWS provides a built-in tool to test the speed improvement:

aws s3 transfer --bucket my-bucket --key test-file.txt --file local-test-file.txt
