Proposal

Adding a new operation to create a copy of an object that is already stored in Amazon S3.

Description

The ability to create a copy of an object that is already stored in Amazon S3. This would be a valuable addition to the current S3 datasource as it would simplify the process of creating backups and duplicates of important files, without the need to download and re-upload them manually.

The proposed operation should be named "copyObject" and should allow the user to specify the source object and the target bucket and key for the new copy. Additionally, the operation should provide the option to copy object metadata and access control settings as well.

Advantages

• Simplified backup and restore processes - with the ability to easily create copies of objects stored in S3, users can quickly create backups and duplicates of important files without the need to download and re-upload them manually.

• Reduced network costs and data transfer times - copying objects within S3 reduces the need for data to be transferred over the internet, saving on network costs and reducing transfer times.

• Increased flexibility and control - by providing the ability to copy object metadata and access control settings, users have greater flexibility and control over the copies they create.
