How do I use transfer Acceleration in S3?

Transfer Acceleration in S3 is a feature that helps to accelerate the upload and download speeds to and from Amazon S3. The way this works is by using optimized network paths and Amazon CloudFront’s globally distributed edge locations. Enabling this feature can significantly improve performance for large files or distances between the client and the S3 bucket.

Below is the full program to create an S3 bucket in AWS with Transfer Acceleration enabled:

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

// Create the S3 bucket
const myBucket = new aws.s3.BucketV2("my_bucket", {
    bucket: "my-unique-bucket-name",
    acl: "private",
    accelerationStatus: "Enabled",
    tags: {
        Name: "my-bucket",
        Environment: "Dev",
    },
});
export const bucketName = myBucket.id;
export const bucketAccelerationUrl = myBucket.websiteEndpoint;

In this example:

• We define the AWS provider and set the region to us-west-2.
• We create an S3 bucket resource with a unique bucket name.
• The acceleration_status property is set to Enabled to activate Transfer Acceleration.
• Tags are included for organizational purposes.
• Finally, we export the bucket name and the website endpoint (Transfer Acceleration URL) as stack outputs.

This setup will ensure that your S3 bucket uses Transfer Acceleration, benefiting from improved upload and download speeds.
