Examples
Browsing and Archiving Amazon S3 Objects
This example Pipeline demonstrates how to browse an S3 object and then archive it.
Prerequisites: A valid AWS S3 Account
Configure the S3 Browser Snap to browse the test/test100.json object from the mrtest bucket.
Validate the Pipeline. The output displays the details of the browsed S3 object. Note that the storage class (Standard) is eligible for archiving.
Next, configure the S3 Archive Snap to archive the S3 object. In this example we are changing the storage class from Standard to GlacierFlexibleRetrieval.
Validate the Pipeline. The output displays the details of the archived S3 object. You can verify that the storage class is changed.
