S3 Storage Classes Demo

In this guide, you'll learn how to set the storage class when uploading a file to Amazon S3 and modify the storage class for an existing file.

Creating an S3 Bucket

First, create a new S3 bucket. For demonstration purposes, we will name the bucket "kk-sc-demo" and use the default configuration settings.

Uploading a File and Setting the Storage Class

After creating the bucket, click on Upload to add a file. Select any file from your local system. As you proceed with the upload process, navigate to the Properties section. Here you can set the desired storage class. By default, the storage class is set to "Standard."

For this demonstration, choose "One Zone-Infrequent Access" as the storage class. Once selected, click Upload to complete the process.

Modifying the Storage Class of an Existing File

If you wish to change the storage class after the file has been uploaded, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the file's Properties tab in the Amazon S3 console.
2. Locate the storage class section.
3. Select the new storage class (for example, "Standard") from the options provided.

This process ensures you can easily manage and modify the storage class of your objects within Amazon S3, based on your evolving requirements.

By following these steps, you can effectively set and modify storage classes in Amazon S3, ensuring that your data is stored in the most cost-effective and efficient manner according to your needs.
