not quite right. no need for lifecycle.
- create a bucket.
- create a rclone config for that bucket using
storage_class = GLACIER - use rclone to upload files to that bucket.
if you check, the files upload will have storage class of glacier and you will be billed accordingly,
here is a spreadsheet i once created
