Setting the Storage Class of an Object You Upload

To set the storage class of an object you upload to RRS, you set x-amz-storage-class to REDUCED_REDUNDANCY in a PUT request.

How to Set the Storage Class of an Object You're Uploading to RRS

  • Create a PUT Object request setting the x-amz-storage-class request header to REDUCED_REDUNDANCY.

    You must have the correct permissions on the bucket to perform the PUT operation. The default value for the storage class is STANDARD (for regular Amazon S3 storage).

    The following example sets the storage class of my-image.jpg to RRS.

    PUT /my-image.jpg HTTP/1.1
