      GET object

To downloading objects which are stored in GLACIER and DEEP_ARCHIVE storage class has 2 step process viz. Restore object and download object. For GLACIER_IR, one can download directly without restore operation.

 

a.       Restore Object

Use below AWS CLI command:

aws s3api restore-object --bucket <BUCKET NAME> --key <FILE NAME> --restore-request ‘{“Days”=<RETENTION DAYS>,”GlacierJobParameters”:{“Tier”:”<TIER>”}}’

 

Where

            BUCKET NAME – The bucket name containing the object to restore

            FILE NAME – Provide name of file/object to be restored

            RETENTION DAYS – Lifetime of the active copy in days

            TIER - Retrieval tier at which the restore will be processed – Standard | Bulk | Expedited

E.g.

aws s3api restore-object --bucket demobucketclitest --key AWS_MAP_GLACIER.pdf --restore-request '{"Days":1,"GlacierJobParameters":{"Tier":"Expedited"}}'

Note - If the JSON syntax used in the example results in an error on a Windows client, replace the restore request with the following syntax:

--restore-request Days=1,GlacierJobParameters={"Tier"="Expedited"}

To monitor the status of your restore-object request, use the following command:

aws s3api head-object --bucket <BUCKET NAME> --key <FILE NAME>

 

Where

            BUCKET NAME – The bucket name containing the object to restore

            FILE NAME – Provide name of file/object to be restored

 

E.g.

aws s3api head-object --bucket demobucketclitest --key AWS_MAP_GLACIER.pdf

FILE NAME – Provide name of file/object to be restored
