You can perform cold storage operations on VOD resources in the VOD console. We offer support for the automatic execution of cold storage (modifying storage type) operations in accordance with predefined policies, as well as the capability to manually select FileID for batch cooling on demand.
Note:
When you perform cold storage for media assets, it will take effect for all files under the FileId, including files related to transcoding, adaptive bitrate streaming, and screencapturing.
