aws cli s3api put-bucket-lifecycle error multi staged transition

Question

I'm using aws s3api put-bucket-lifecycle --bucket bkp --lifecycle-configuration file://move-to-glacier.json --debug, for create lifecycle rule in many buckets, this is my move-to-glacier.json:
```
{
    "Rules": [
        {
            "ID": "MoveToGlacier",
            "Prefix": "",
            "Status": "Enabled",
            "Transition": [
                {
                    "Days": 365,
                    "StorageClass": "GLACIER"
                },
                {
                    "Days": 1825,
                    "StorageClass": "DEEP_ARCHIVE"
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}
```
First 365 day move to GLACIER, Second 1825 move to DEEP_ARCHIVE, all bucket, but return error:

```
  File "botocore/client.py", line 617, in _convert_to_request_dict
  File "botocore/validate.py", line 319, in serialize_to_request
botocore.exceptions.ParamValidationError: Parameter validation failed:
Invalid type for parameter LifecycleConfiguration.Rules[0].Transition, value: [OrderedDict([('Days', 365), ('StorageClass', 'GLACIER')]), OrderedDict([('Days', 1825), ('StorageClass', 'DEEP_ARCHIVE')])], type: , valid types: 
```

If i using my move-to-glacier.json with one transition it run ok, example:

```
{
    "Rules": [
        {
            "ID": "MoveToGlacier",
            "Prefix": "",
            "Status": "Enabled",
            "Transition": 
                {
                    "Days": 365,
                    "StorageClass": "GLACIER"
                }
            
        }
    ]
}
```
With this move-to-glacier the command s3api put-bucket-lifecycle run ok.

I changed my mind, I'm using boto3 SDK and it worked correctly.

```
import boto3
s3 = boto3.resource('s3')
bucket_lifecycle_configuration = s3.BucketLifecycleConfiguration('my-bucket')
response = bucket_lifecycle_configuration.put(
    LifecycleConfiguration={
        'Rules': [
            {
                'ID': 'Move-To-Glacier',
                'Prefix': '',
                'Status': 'Enabled',
                'Transitions': [
                    {
                        'Days': 365,
                        'StorageClass': 'GLACIER'
                    },
                    {
                        'Days': 1825,
                        'StorageClass': 'DEEP_ARCHIVE'
                    }
                ],
            }
        ]
    }
)
print(response)
```

There is typo in your "`Transitions`" keyword. Refer the documentation [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/put-bucket-lifecycle-configuration.html)

So the correct format will be

```
{
    "Rules": [
        {
            "ID": "MoveToGlacier",
            "Prefix": "",
            "Status": "Enabled",
            "Transitions": [
                {
                    "Days": 365,
                    "StorageClass": "GLACIER"
                },
                {
                    "Days": 1825,
                    "StorageClass": "DEEP_ARCHIVE"
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}
```

Make sure you have an updated version of the CLI. Sometimes having an older version that does not know about "DEEP_ARCHIVE" will produce this type of error.
