With AWS Powershell commandlets, how do I specify a different endpoint for S3 buckets

I have AWS instances in several regions (us-east-1, us-west-2). I use CodeDeploy to take .zip files stored in S3 and deploy them to AutoScale groups. However, since the S3 bucket only exists in us-east-1, and I am attempting to deploy to us-west-2, specifying a region in my PowerShell commandlet (New-CDDeployment) doesn't work.

I need to specify a region (us-west-2), but pull the files from the S3 bucket in us-east-1 by using a custom endpoint (s3-us-east-1.amazonaws.com), but I cannot find any way of doing this within the PowerShell commandlet.

Solution

  • Use cross-region replication to replicate your bucket from us-east-1 into us-west-2, and reference the replica bucket in your powershell cmdlet since it will be in the same region.

    Even if you didn't have this issue, this would be a good general practice so that you don't lose access to your code on S3 during us-east-1 S3 outages.
