Answer 1

If you have 2 different buckets with different access credentials. Store the credentials accordingly in credentials and config files under ~/.aws folder.

you can use the following to copy object from one bucket with different credentials and then save the object in the other bucket with different credentials:

import boto3


session_src = boto3.session.Session(profile_name=)
source_s3_r = session_src.resource('s3')

session_dest = boto3.session.Session(profile_name=)
dest_s3_r = session_dest.resource('s3')

# create a reference to source image
old_obj = source_s3_r.Object(,  + )

# create a reference for destination image
new_obj = dest_s3_r.Object(, old_obj.key)

# upload the image to destination S3 object
new_obj.put(Body=old_obj.get()['Body'].read())

Both bucket do not need to have accessibility from each other in the ACL or the bucket policies.
