Using S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval from AWS CLI-CodePudding

I read about the new storage class S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval and I want to use it when I upload files to S3 using the AWS CLI (command line interface). I read on https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/s3/cp.html that the storage class options are:

--storage-class (string) The type of storage to use for the object. Valid choices are: STANDARD | REDUCED_REDUNDANCY | STANDARD_IA | ONEZONE_IA | INTELLIGENT_TIERING | GLACIER | DEEP_ARCHIVE. Defaults to ‘STANDARD’

How do I use the S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval storage class with the CLI and do I need to install a specific version of AWS CLI?

CodePudding user response：

CHANGELOG of aws-cli says updated in 2.4.4 version.

2.4.4

api-change:s3: Introduce Amazon S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval storage class and a new setting in S3 Object Ownership to disable ACLs for bucket and the objects in it.

(Document does not seem to be updated yet, though.)

CodePudding user response：

AWS seems to have only made it available through the S3 API-Level Commands at this time with aws s3api put-object.

When using put-object, you have the choice of using the --storage-class of GLACIER_IR. Tested this the other day for a blog post, which worked a treat. Why they haven't included it in s3 is a mystery to me.

aws s3api put-object --bucket mybucket --key folder/filename --body file --storage-class GLACIER_IR

This is the case as of aws-cli/2.4.5, but I can also see a Pull Request in the GitHub repo where someone has submitted a change to add it to aws s3, so this answer may change.
