A company has copied 1 PB of data from a colocation facility to an Amazon S3 bucket in the us-east-1 Region using an AWS Direct Connect link. The company now wants to copy the data to another S3 bucket in the us-west-2 Region. The colocation facility does not allow the use of AWS Snowball.
What should a solutions architect recommend to accomplish this?
A. Order a Snowball Edge device to copy the data from one Region to another Region.
B. Transfer contents from the source S3 bucket to a target S3 bucket using the S3 console.
C. Use the aws S3 sync command to copy data from the source bucket to the destination bucket.
D. Add a cross-Region replication configuration to copy objects across S3 buckets in different Regions.
Ans; C
“C” is the correct answer
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/replication.html
You explanation is wrong because …”by default, replication only supports copying new Amazon S3 objects after it is enabled on a bucket.”
B is a better option.
C – We can use sync command in cli and copy data to another bucket

answer is B:
you can’t use cross-Region replication because the data is already in s3
