Synchronize data between Amazon EFS file systems in different AWS Regions by using AWS DataSync

Synchronize data between Amazon EFS file systems template shows how to use AWS DataSync to migrate data from one Amazon EFS file system in your source region to another file system in your destination region. It provides safe transfers by mandating TLS 1.2 encryption, so your information remains safe during transit from one zone to another. It also tells you what the network setup that you require is, including VPCs, NAT Gateways, Internet Gateways, EC2 instances, public subnets, and private subnets. All these components interact in such a way that your data flows smoothly and securely.

In short, synchronize data between Amazon EFS file systems template gives you a step-by-step guide to keep your files in Amazon EFS up to date in another region with minimal effort.

Why is this template a game changer? 

Without such a setup, you would end up manually copying files or scripting something that is hard to maintain. That is more effort, more time, and error proneness.

Using this template:

• You don't have to do it all manually. AWS DataSync does it for you.

• Your data is safe as the link employs TLS 1.2 encryption.

• It is convenient because the procedure is automated.

• You can get a sense of how everything works together—EFS, VPCs, gateways.

For anyone in need of reliable Cross‑Region EFS Synchronization, synchronize data between Amazon EFS file systems template makes it easy for you, faster and more secure.

Who can use this template and when? 

This template is for your use if you want to sync your data between two AWS Regions. You will need it here:

• Disaster recovery: If something happens in one place, you have a backup in another place.

• Data migration: When you relocate to a new place, you can migrate your files step by step without any impact on your work.

• Backup: If you require a duplicate of your data somewhere else other than in the central location, this setup works for you.

You can use it if: 

• You are running a small business,

• Working for a big corporation,

• Working on independent projects.

If you want safe and automatic EFS Cross‑Region Migration or backup, this template is ready to help you.

What are the main components of the template?

The following are the components in the architecture:

• AWS DataSync (Source): Where the data starts to move.

• AWS DataSync (Destination): Where data enters and is kept current.

• Amazon EFS (Source Location): This is where your primary storage resides and where your files are stored.

• Amazon EFS (Destination Location): This is your second storage location in another region.

• EC2 Instance (Source Region): helps you connect to your source EFS.

• EC2 Instance (Destination Region): Provides a way to access your destination EFS.

• VPC (Source Region): Your own private network for your source region.

• VPC (Secondary Region): Your own network for your destination region.

• Internet Gateway (Source Region): Enables DataSync to use the internet in the source.

• Internet Gateway (Secondary Region): Enables DataSync to use the destination internet.

• NAT Gateway (Source Region): Lets private parts of your network send data out safely.

• NAT Gateway (Secondary Region): Does the same in the destination region.

• Public Subnet (Source Region): Routes to the gateways in the source region.

• Public Subnet (Secondary Region): Is associated with the target region's gateways.

• Private Subnet (Both Regions): Protects sensitive data in the network.

Each section has its own role. Collectively, they create a definite and secure path for your data to travel.
