Something sounds fishy about this. What exactly were the 7 engineers doing during this time? And none of them thought to Google it or call support?
TBH, I won't claim I know the best way to do this, but I'm 100% sure a call to Amazon support would sort things out. Copying data between buckets is common enough I'm sure they have a good way to handle this.
- hinkley 6y agoI’m sure you’ve run into a less egregious version of this at some point yeah? Automation doesn’t always take longer than doing the task. But it does mean zero progress for part of it. In any group of 7 engineers there is at least one who is more than happy to do a repetitive task. The pay is the same. Whether there is one who would rather do anything but that? I think that depends on luck, and whether the other 6 chased them off already. The “it’s not so bad” crowd always fits in easily, but they might not be that effective when push comes to shove.
