How to upload a file to Amazon Glacier Deep Archive using boto3

Question

I've managed to upload a file to Glacier, but I want to upload to Deep Archive directly. I've searched the documentation, but found no mentions of how to set the storage class to DEEP_ARCHIVE directly.

Answer 1

You can either use put_object(), which has a StorageClass parameter, or you can use upload_file() while specifying ExtraArgs:

import boto3

s3_client = boto3.client('s3')

s3_client.upload_file('/tmp/hello.txt', 'my-bucket', 'hello.txt', ExtraArgs={'StorageClass': 'DEEP_ARCHIVE'})

Permitted ExtraArgs can be found at ALLOWED_UPLOAD_ARGS.

To clarify: This is uploading to Amazon S3 but setting the Storage Class to Glacier Deep Archive. This is different to uploading to the Amazon Glacier service. (These days it is easier to use Glacier via S3 storage classes).
