How can we upload object of size larger than 5TB onto Amazon Simple Storage S3

Amazon S3 has a maximum object size limit of 5 terabytes (TB) for a single PUT operation. If you need to upload an object larger than 5 TB, you can consider using one of the following approaches:

Multipart Upload: Amazon S3 supports multipart upload, which allows you to upload large objects in smaller parts. You can break the object into multiple parts, upload them in parallel, and then combine them into a single object on the server-side. Multipart upload provides increased resiliency, parallelism, and the ability to resume uploads in case of failures. You can use the AWS SDKs or the Amazon S3 REST API to perform multipart uploads.

S3 Transfer Acceleration: Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration uses the Amazon CloudFront content delivery network to speed up uploads to S3. It optimizes the transfer path between your location and the S3 bucket, reducing the transfer time for large objects.

AWS Snowball: AWS Snowball is a physical data transfer service designed for large-scale data transfers. It involves shipping a physical storage device (Snowball device) to your location, where you can load your data onto it. Once loaded, the device is shipped back to AWS, and the data is imported into S3. AWS Snowball supports data transfer sizes ranging from terabytes to exabytes.

AWS Snowmobile: AWS Snowmobile is a service designed for transferring extremely large amounts of data, ranging from exabytes to multiple petabytes. It involves using a shipping container-sized data transfer device, called Snowmobile, which is transported to your location. Once there, the Snowmobile is loaded with your data, and it is then transported back to an AWS data center where the data is imported into S3
