# Enable and disable existing object replication

First, make sure you have cut an s3 ticket at https://t.corp.amazon.com/create/templates/1eeeda17-d23e-4023-8af4-8d0c42ff69c3 to enable existing object replication. The turnaround can be quite lengthy.

You will also need to install the model given to you in the welcome email: `aws configure add-model --service-model file://s3-2006-03-01_UPDATED.normal.json --service-name s3`

Once it is enabled, you can use this script to enable and disable existing object replication. There may be no need to disable existing object replication other than to satisfy terraform or some other tool which rejects the configuration.
