Amazon S3 Copy API Ready for Testing

It is interesting to me that cost of copy is the same as PUT…

This feature is now available for beta use; you can find full documentation here (be sure to follow the links to the detailed information on the use of this feature via SOAP and REST). Copy requests are billed at the same rate as PUT requests: $.01 for 1000 in the US, and $.012 for 1000 in Europe.

Other thoughts are that

  • costs for moving in a bucket
  • costs for moving to a new bucket
  • costs for renaming (I know a form of meta data chance)

are the same as PUT…
