How do I use Amazon's new RRS for S3?

Question

Reduced Redundancy Storage (RRS) is a new service from Amazon that is a bit cheaper than S3 because there is less redundancy.

However, I can not find any information on how to specify that my data should use RRS rather than standard S3.

Answer 1

All objects in Amazon S3 have a storage class setting. The default setting is STANDARD. You can use an optional header on a PUT request to specify the setting REDUCED_REDUNDANCY.
