Data tiering overview

Summary

The documentation states: The default storage class for tiered data is the Standard Storage class. If the data is infrequently accessed, you can reduce your storage costs by changing to Nearline Storage or Coldline Storage. When you change the storage class, inactive data moves directly to the class that you selected

IMHO the documentation is not accurate, because when you change the storage class (for example from standard to nearline), existing inactive data keeps in the previous storage class (standard in the example), and new inactive data moving from the performance tier to the cloud tier will go directly to the class that you selected (nearline). The existing inactive data is not automatically moved/changed to the new Storage Class.

The documentation has been updated to state "Any existing inactive data will maintain the default storage class when you change the storage class. To change the storage class for existing inactive data, you must perform the designation manually."
