Best way to move files between S3 buckets?

Question

I\'d like to copy some files from a production bucket to a development bucket daily.

For example: Copy productionbucket/feed/feedname/date to developmentbucket/feed/

The new official AWS CLI natively supports most of the functionality of s3cmd. I'd previously been using s3cmd or the ruby AWS SDK to do things like this, but the official CLI works great for this.

aws s3 sync s3://oldbucket s3://newbucket
