You can modify the storage class for an existing cloud storage library. For example, to take advantage of a newer low-cost option for storage using a different storage class.
Note
When the bucket is modified to a new storage class, new data will be stored using the new storage class. Existing data will always remain in the old storage class. To move the existing data, see Permanently Moving Data From One Cloud Storage Tier To Another.
