Hi, everyone,
I am new to both AWS and GNU Parallel software.
Please pardon a beginner's questions.
I need to copy/move files from my AWS Linux EC2 instance (Redhat 6.10) to an S3 bucket that was previously created.
Normally the command to copy a file (for example, messages) would look like this:
aws s3 cp messages s3://hhs-cms-epl-epor-stg-predev-v3
To verify the file is in the S3 bucket, I use the command:
aws s3 ls hhs-cms-epl-epor-stg-predev-v3 | grep messages
The problem is that I need to upload a lot of files (100,000 or so) and some of them are quite big (1 GB to 5 GB), and it takes a long time to upload so many files or very big ones.
I need to speed this process up.
The questions are:
1) Would GNU parallel software speed up this copy process significantly?
2) What is the syntax of the command when using S3 buckets?
If I understand the man page and the beginner youtube page, to use the parallel option one should use something similar to:
parallel aws s3 cp messages s3://hhs-cms-epl-epor-stg-predev-v3
However the output I get is:
# parallel aws s3 cp messages s3://hhs-cms-epl-epor-stg-predev-v3
parallel: Warning: Input is read from the terminal. You either know what you

The file does not copy.
Any advice on how to do this properly?
Thank you in advance to any who have time to help.
Yours,
Mike
