3.12 S3 Transfer Acceleration
Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration enables fast, easy, and secure transfers of files over long distances between your client and your Amazon S3 bucket. S3 Transfer Acceleration utilizes the CloudFront Edge Network to accelerate your uploads to S3. As data arrives at an AWS Edge Location, data is routed to your Amazon S3 bucket over an optimized network path. Instead of uploading directly to your S3 bucket, you can use a distinct URL to upload directly to an edge location which will then transfer that file to S3. You can get a distinct URL to upload to (instead of your S3 URL).
The farther away you are from a S3 Region, the higher the speed improvement you can expect from using S3 Transfer Acceleration.
