title: S3 Standard to Glacier - Lifecycle Transition Cost
body: <p>I wanted to confirm my understanding of the cost for lifecycle policy based transition of files from Standard to Glacier is correct as mentioned with below example.</p>
  
  <p>Per 1000 files of transfer, we get charged a $0.06 (ap-south-1 region) to transfer to Glacier.</p>
  
  <p>Eg:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Bucket A: Has 1 million files (3TB total size). If we move all the objects to Glacier, we will be charged 1000000*0.06/1000 = $60</li>
  <li>Bucket B: Has 300 files (3TB total size). If we move all the objects to Glacier, we will be charged $0.06 or less (as it has less than 1000 files in the bucket)</li>
  </ol>
