community.aws.s3_sync module – Efficiently upload multiple files to S3
Note
This module is part of the community.aws collection (version 9.0.0).
You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package.
It is not included in ansible-core.
To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.
To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install community.aws.
You need further requirements to be able to use this module,
see Requirements for details.
To use it in a playbook, specify: community.aws.s3_sync.
New in community.aws 1.0.0
Synopsis
The S3 module is great, but it is very slow for a large volume of files- even a dozen will be noticeable. In addition to speed, it handles globbing, inclusions/exclusions, mime types, expiration mapping, recursion, cache control and smart directory mapping.
Requirements
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
python >= 3.6
boto3 >= 1.28.0
botocore >= 1.31.0

Notes
Note
Caution: For modules, environment variables and configuration files are read from the Ansible ‘host’ context and not the ‘controller’ context. As such, files may need to be explicitly copied to the ‘host’. For lookup and connection plugins, environment variables and configuration files are read from the Ansible ‘controller’ context and not the ‘host’ context.
The AWS SDK (boto3) that Ansible uses may also read defaults for credentials and other settings, such as the region, from its configuration files in the Ansible ‘host’ context (typically
~/.aws/credentials). See https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/guide/credentials.html for more information.
