Overview

You can specify INTELLIGENT TIERING as the storage class of your objects to reduce storage costs. Then, COS automatically moves objects between two storage tiers (frequent access and infrequent access) when the data access pattern changes.

INTELLIGENT TIERING is ideal for data with unknown or changing access patterns. It offers the same low latency and high throughput as STANDARD while featuring lower costs. You can change the storage class of objects with uncertain access patterns from STANDARD to INTELLIGENT TIERING as needed to reduce your cloud storage costs.

For more information on INTELLIGENT TIERING and the supported regions, see INTELLIGENT TIERING Overview.

Note：

• Storage usage fees of INTELLIGENT TIERING are described as follows:
• Storage fees for data in the frequent access tier are consistent with the published prices of STANDARD.
• Storage fees for data in the infrequent access tier are consistent with the published prices of STANDARD_IA.
• The request fees of INTELLIGENT TIERING are consistent with the published prices of STANDARD. The traffic fees, management feature fees, and supported regions are the same as those of other storage classes. INTELLIGENT TIERING also charges for object monitoring rather than data retrieval. For more information, see Pricing | Cloud Object Storage.
