Hi there,
I need to move files from S3 to GCP, and the destination does not maintain the directory structure (index), just the file copied. I trried the process using Transfer Service but it always replicates the source directory structure in the destination. Therefore, I am trying to use a process in AWS that executes the `gsutil cp` command.
I understand that when a Transfer Service job is created, the transfer is made directly from S3 to GCP. If the `gsutil cp` command is used, there is a data transfer from the origin to the process where the command is executed, and then from there towards the destination?
S3 -> EC2 (gsutil cp) -> GCP
I did the test by transferring a 1GB file, executing the command on my laptop (simulating the process that would run in AWS) using a slow internet connection and the transfer rate was approximately 2MB/s, which makes me think that if there is a data transfer to the process, and then the destination.
I appreciate your comments on this.
