AWS equivalent of Azure Storage redundancy (LRS, ZRS, GRS, GZRS)
The closest AWS equivalent of Azure Storage redundancy (LRS, ZRS, GRS, GZRS) is Amazon S3 Replication (CRR, SRR, Batch Replication).
About Azure Storage redundancy (LRS, ZRS, GRS, GZRS)
| Provider | Microsoft Azure |
|---|---|
| Status | Generally available |
| What it is | Per-account replication setting. LRS keeps three copies in one datacenter, ZRS spreads them synchronously across three or more zones, and GRS/GZRS add asynchronous copies in the paired secondary region (readable with RA-GRS/RA-GZRS or after failover). |

S3 Cross-Region and Same-Region Replication map to Azure Blob object replication. Azure also has a no-configuration option, geo-redundant storage (GRS or GZRS), which copies the whole account to its paired region.
- Prerequisites. S3 replication needs versioning on both buckets. Azure object replication needs versioning on both accounts and change feed on the source.
- SLA. S3 Replication Time Control offers a 15-minute SLA. Azure has an optional priority replication mode with its own performance target for same-continent pairs.
- Existing data. S3 live replication covers new objects, and Batch Replication handles existing ones. Azure object replication can also copy existing blobs when you set the policy's copy scope.
