Container for the parameters to the CopyObject operation.
Creates a copy of an object that is already stored in Amazon S3.
You can store individual objects of up to 5 TB in Amazon S3. You create a copy of
your object up to 5 GB in size in a single atomic action using this API. However,
to copy an object greater than 5 GB, you must use the multipart upload Upload Part
- Copy (UploadPartCopy) API. For more information, see Copy
Object Using the REST Multipart Upload API.
You can copy individual objects between general purpose buckets, between directory buckets, and between general purpose buckets and directory buckets.
Directory buckets - For directory buckets, you must make requests for this
API operation to the Zonal endpoint. These endpoints support virtual-hosted-style
requests in the format https://bucket_name.s3express-az_id.region.amazonaws.com/key-name. Path-style requests are not supported. For more information, see Regional
and Zonal endpoints in the Amazon S3 User Guide.
Both the Region that you want to copy the object from and the Region that you want to copy the object to must be enabled for your account.
Amazon S3 transfer acceleration does not support cross-Region copies. If you request
a cross-Region copy using a transfer acceleration endpoint, you get a 400 Bad
Request error. For more information, see Transfer
Acceleration.
All CopyObject requests must be authenticated and signed by using IAM
credentials (access key ID and secret access key for the IAM identities). All headers
with the x-amz- prefix, including x-amz-copy-source, must
be signed. For more information, see REST
Authentication.
Directory buckets - You must use the IAM credentials to authenticate and authorize
your access to the CopyObject API operation, instead of using the temporary
security credentials through the CreateSession API operation.
Amazon Web Services CLI or SDKs handles authentication and authorization on your behalf.
You must have read access to the source object and write access to the destination bucket.
General purpose bucket permissions - You must have permissions in an IAM policy
based on the source and destination bucket types in a CopyObject operation.
If the source object is in a general purpose bucket, you must have s3:GetObject permission to read the source object that is being copied.
If the destination bucket is a general purpose bucket, you must have s3:PutObject permission to write the object copy to the destination bucket.
Directory bucket permissions - You must have permissions in a bucket policy
or an IAM identity-based policy based on the source and destination bucket types in
a CopyObject operation.
If the source object that you want to copy is in a directory bucket, you must have
the s3express:CreateSession permission in the Action
element of a policy to read the object. By default, the session is in the ReadWrite
mode. If you want to restrict the access, you can explicitly set the s3express:SessionMode
condition key to ReadOnly on the copy source bucket.
If the copy destination is a directory bucket, you must have the s3express:CreateSession permission in the Action element of a policy to write the object
to the destination. The s3express:SessionMode condition key can't be
set to ReadOnly on the copy destination bucket.
For example policies, see Example bucket policies for S3 Express One Zone and Amazon Web Services Identity and Access Management (IAM) identity-based policies for S3 Express One Zone in the Amazon S3 User Guide.
When the request is an HTTP 1.1 request, the response is chunk encoded. When the request
is not an HTTP 1.1 request, the response would not contain the Content-Length.
You always need to read the entire response body to check if the copy succeeds. to
keep the connection alive while we copy the data.
If the copy is successful, you receive a response with information about the copied object.
A copy request might return an error when Amazon S3 receives the copy request or while
Amazon S3 is copying the files. A 200 OK response can contain either
a success or an error.
If the error occurs before the copy action starts, you receive a standard Amazon S3 error.
If the error occurs during the copy operation, the error response is embedded in the
200 OK response. For example, in a cross-region copy, you may encounter
throttling and receive a 200 OK response. For more information, see Resolve the
Error 200 response when copying objects to Amazon S3. The 200 OK
status code means the copy was accepted, but it doesn't mean the copy is complete.
Another example is when you disconnect from Amazon S3 before the copy is complete,
Amazon S3 might cancel the copy and you may receive a 200 OK response.
You must stay connected to Amazon S3 until the entire response is successfully received
and processed.
If you call this API operation directly, make sure to design your application to parse the content of the response and handle it appropriately. If you use Amazon Web Services SDKs, SDKs handle this condition. The SDKs detect the embedded error and apply error handling per your configuration settings (including automatically retrying the request as appropriate). If the condition persists, the SDKs throw an exception (or, for the SDKs that don't use exceptions, they return an error).
The copy request charge is based on the storage class and Region that you specify for the destination object. The request can also result in a data retrieval charge for the source if the source storage class bills for data retrieval. If the copy source is in a different region, the data transfer is billed to the copy source account. For pricing information, see Amazon S3 pricing.
Directory buckets - The HTTP Host header syntax is Bucket_name.s3express-az_id.region.amazonaws.com.

Directory buckets - S3 Bucket Keys aren't supported, when you copy SSE-KMS encrypted objects from general purpose buckets to directory buckets, from directory buckets to general purpose buckets, or between directory buckets, through CopyObject.

ServerSideEncryptionMethod | Amazon.S3.ServerSideEncryptionMethod |
Gets and sets the property ServerSideEncryptionMethod.
The server-side encryption algorithm used when storing this object in Amazon S3. Unrecognized
or unsupported values won’t write a destination object and will receive a Amazon S3 automatically encrypts all new objects that are copied to an S3 bucket. When copying an object, if you don't specify encryption information in your copy request, the encryption setting of the target object is set to the default encryption configuration of the destination bucket. By default, all buckets have a base level of encryption configuration that uses server-side encryption with Amazon S3 managed keys (SSE-S3). If the destination bucket has a different default encryption configuration, Amazon S3 uses the corresponding encryption key to encrypt the target object copy. With server-side encryption, Amazon S3 encrypts your data as it writes your data to disks in its data centers and decrypts the data when you access it. For more information about server-side encryption, see Using Server-Side Encryption in the Amazon S3 User Guide. General purpose buckets
