Can AWS DMS have S3 Glacier as a target?

Question

I didn't find any documentation to support that S3 Glacier is a supported target nor that it isn't. S3, however, is a valid target.

When S3 Glacier is the desired target, can we transfer directly to it, or do we need lifecycle policies to achieve this behaviour?

Answer 1

From my previous projects, it transfers to S3 with Standard storage class.

What you have to do is to make a transitioning s3 lifecycle from what you have thoughts.

Still, the best way of uploading to Glacier is over S3 storage classes, you can check John's comment about the reason behind: Uploading files to Glacier using AWS S3 v/s S3 Glacier upload
