Creating copies of files

s3.md

Create bucket 'test'

awslocal s3api create-bucket --bucket test --region us-east-1

Copy local file into S3

awslocal s3 cp test.txt s3://test/test.txt

Tag it

awslocal s3api put-object-tagging \
    --bucket test \
    --key test.txt \
    --tagging '{"TagSet": [{ "Key": "secret", "Value": "thank you" }]}'

Check the tag

awslocal s3api get-object-tagging \
--bucket test \
--key test.txt

Copy the file

awslocal s3api copy-object \
--copy-source test/test.txt \
--key test-renamed.txt \
--tagging-directive COPY \
--bucket test

List all objects in bucket

awslocal s3api list-objects --bucket test --query 'Contents[].{Key: Key, Size: Size}'

Check the tag on the copy

awslocal s3api get-object-tagging \
--bucket test \
--key test-renamed.txt

The tags should match

Using the mv command

awslocal s3 mv test.txt s3://test/test2.txt

This method does not copy the existing tags

Using cp

awslocal s3 cp s3://test/test.txt s3://test/test3.txt

This does copy the existing tags on the test.txt object
