Data replication - Object Storage Service - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

Data replication automatically replicates objects and object operations, such as creation, overwriting, and deletion, from a source bucket to a destination bucket. Object Storage Service (OSS) supports cross-region replication (CRR) and same-region replication (SRR).

Usage notes

In this topic, the public endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. If you want to access OSS from other Alibaba Cloud services in the same region as OSS, use an internal endpoint. For more information about OSS regions and endpoints, see Regions, endpoints and open ports.
In this topic, access credentials are obtained from environment variables. For more information about how to configure access credentials, see Configure access credentials.
In this topic, an OSSClient instance is created by using an OSS endpoint. If you want to create an OSSClient instance by using custom domain names or Security Token Service (STS), see Create an OSSClient instance.
To enable data replication, you must have the oss:PutBucketReplication permission. To query data replication rules, you must have the oss:GetBucketReplication permission. To query the regions to which data can be replicated, you must have the oss:GetBucketReplicationLocation permission. To query the progress of a data replication task, you must have the oss:GetBucketReplicationProgress permission. To disable data replication, you must have the oss:DeleteBucketReplication permission. For more information, see Attach a custom policy to a RAM user.

Enable data replication

Important

Before you enable data replication, make sure that the source bucket and the destination bucket are unversioned or versioning-enabled.

The following sample code provides an example on how to configure a data replication rule:

import com.aliyun.oss.ClientException;
import com.aliyun.oss.OSS;
import com.aliyun.oss.common.auth.*;
import com.aliyun.oss.OSSClientBuilder;
import com.aliyun.oss.OSSException;
import com.aliyun.oss.model.AddBucketReplicationRequest;

        String endpoint = "https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com";
        // Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured. 
        EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider credentialsProvider = CredentialsProviderFactory.newEnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider();
        // Specify the name of the bucket. Example: examplebucket. 
        String bucketName = "examplebucket";
        // Specify the destination bucket to which you want to replicate the data. 
        String targetBucketName = "yourTargetBucketName";
        // Specify the region in which the destination bucket is located. 
        // If you want to enable CRR, the source and destination buckets must be located in different regions. If you want to enable SRR, the source and destination buckets must be located in the same region. 
        String targetBucketLocation = "yourTargetBucketLocation";
        // Specify the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the region to cn-hangzhou.

Query the progress of a data replication task

You can query the progress of historical data replication tasks and incremental data replication tasks.

The progress of historical data replication tasks is expressed as a percentage. You can query the progress of historical data replication tasks only for buckets for which historical data replication is enabled.
The progress of incremental data replication tasks is expressed as a point in time. Data that is stored in the source bucket before the point in time is replicated.

The following sample code provides an example on how to query the progress of a data replication task:
