A popular replication solution for AWS is Amazon S3 Replication, a robust feature that replicates objects and their metadata across multiple S3 buckets.

Disaster recovery and data redundancy: Cross-region replication is an integral component of disaster recovery strategies, ensuring data integrity, and mitigating data loss through backups and active/passive or active/active failover strategies.

The policy grants access to Amazon S3 to retrieve the replication configuration and list the bucket content.

Amazon S3 Replication also offers a few optional features that are helpful and should be considered by users.

Replication metrics and notifications: This option gives you detailed metrics to track the replication progress minute-by-minute, including bytes and operations pending, replication latency, and more.

If replication metrics and notifications have been enabled in the previous step, you can also use Amazon CloudWatch to get more detailed info about each replication rule, as well as the source and destination buckets.
