Storage Classes & Lifecycle Policies

Part of the Cloud Computing Roadmap.

Summary

Object storage offers multiple tiers (frequent access, infrequent access, archive) at different price points — lifecycle policies automatically move data between tiers as it ages, reducing storage costs without manual work.

How to Learn This

  • 1Set up a lifecycle policy moving objects to a cheaper storage class after a set number of days.
  • 2Learn the retrieval time and cost trade-offs between different storage classes.
  • 3Practice reasoning about which storage class fits a given access pattern.
