Question

How do I check the storage class of an object in S3?

Answer 1

You can check the storage class of an object by fetching its metadata. Here’s an example using Boto3:

import boto3

s3 = boto3.client('s3')

def get_storage_class(bucket_name, object_key):
    response = s3.head_object(Bucket=bucket_name, Key=object_key)
    return response['StorageClass']

bucket_name = 'your-bucket-name'
object_key = 'your-object-key'

storage_class = get_storage_class(bucket_name, object_key)
print(f"The storage class of {object_key} is {storage_class}")
