Unable to get storage type of bucket

[ghost]

Describe the issue

I recently wanted to connect an S3 bucket through boto3 and get the storage type of the bucket, but I didn't find the corresponding method, nor did I find it in the SDK description.

Hi @shenhongwei33,

Thanks for writing! Only objects have a storage class. Buckets don't have a storage class directly associated with them, they have a lifecycle policy. You can read more about how this works here:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/object-lifecycle-mgmt.html

The related operation in the AWS CLI and the SDK is this one:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/get-bucket-lifecycle-configuration.html

You can read more about object storage classes here:

This is a guidance question, as the documentation for this operation exists at the API level, and these are used to generate the AWS SDK and CLI documentation. Since it's a guidance question, I'm moving it to the discussion forum.

If this answers your question, please mark it as answered. Thanks!
