To simplify the synchronization of data from one S3 bucket to another, please take a look at the sync-buckets-state-machine project on awslabs:

A sample AWS Step Functions (SFN) state machine, designed to one-way synchronize an Amazon S3 source bucket into another S3 destination bucket.

Move a foobucket from us-west-1 to us-west-2

-- Create tmpbucket
$ aws s3 sync s3://foobucket s3://tmpbucket --source-region us-west-1 --region us-west-2
$ aws s3 rb s3://foobucket --force
-- Recreate foobucket in us-west-2, but you might have to wait due to caching
$ aws s3 sync s3://tmpbucket s3://foobucket --source-region us-west-2 --region us-west-2
