I currently have a S3 bucket that is configured for Standard which is not our best practice. I want to change the data in the bucket to One Zone-IA to match the new uploads coming from the site. Can that be done via the S3 bucket or what is a good recommendation? I am trying to avoid a whole new upload form the site.

The old data has been tagged with the old storage class.  You would have to Aux Copy the data to a new bucket with the new class.  You could also set up a lifecycle policy on the vendor side, leave it on for a week and then turn it off.  Either would work.

You can change the storage class in the Mount Path properties.  Any new data will be written with the new class, while the old data will remain with the old class.

@Orazan I have done that part. Can I change the old data? Do I just do it in S3 properties in AWS?
