Configuring a Storage Class for a Bucket (SDK for Go)

Function

OBS offers the following storage classes: Standard, Infrequent Access, and Archive. For details, see Storage Classes.

This API configures a storage class for a bucket. If you do not specify a storage class when uploading or copying an object, or initiating a multipart upload, the object will inherit the bucket's storage class.
