We want to migrate AWS S3 buckets (10 TB) to IBM Cloud Storage and AWS RDS for MySQL to IBM Cloud- Compose for MySQL (5 GB). What are the possible approaches?

For your MySQL migration you can use MySQL workbench to export your AWS hosted MySQL database to a backup file(s) on your local machine, then import the backup file to the new IBM hosted MySQL server.
In MySQLWorkbench connect to the AWS server > Click Server at the top > Data Export > Check your db > Check Export to Self-Contained File > Check Include Create Schema > Start Export
Connect to the IBM server > Create a DB with the same name as the original > Click Server at the top > Data Import > Check Import from Self-Contained File > Start Import
To migrate your S3 buckets, copy the buckets to your local system using the AWS CLI or CyberDuck. See a variety of ways at Downloading an entire S3 bucket?
Then upload the files to your IBM Cloud Storage. Here are some ways to do so https://console.bluemix.net/docs/services/cloud-object-storage/basics/upload.html#uploading-data

There is a tool called rclone that can be used for syncing data between cloud storages. Once set up it can be used as:
rclone sync source:path dest:path [flags]
IBM Documentation has instructions on how to install and use it as well.
