Description

AWS have support for filtering data for datasync tasks for AWS Datasync:
https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2019/05/aws-datasync-adds-filtering-for-data-transfers/

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/datasync/latest/userguide/filtering.html
Filtering the Data Transferred by AWS DataSync
When you transfer data from your source to your destination location, you can apply filters to transfer only a subset of the files in your source location. For example, if your source location includes temporary files that end with .tmp, you can create an exclude filter that ensures that these files are not transferred to the destination.

Filtering is an optional configuration to specify if you want to transfer a subset of your source files. You can leave the filter configuration empty if you want all files from the source to be transferred to the destination location.

I'd suggest renaming the issue to AWS DataSync Task Filter.
