Object lifecycles

Object Storage lets you define the actions automatically applied to individual objects or groups of objects in the bucket at specified points in time.

Types of actions:

• Change the storage class of objects.
• Delete objects.

You can only configure object lifecycles for each individual bucket. You can't configure lifecycles for a bucket group, folder, or cloud.

To manage object lifecycles, you can use:

• The Yandex.Cloud management console.

• An Amazon S3-compatible HTTP API.

  This way you can manage lifecycle configurations using tools that support Amazon S3 HTTP API.

When you manage lifecycles via the Amazon S3-compatible HTTP API, define the configuration in XML format. Different tools may require different configuration formats, see the example for the AWS CLI in Managing lifecycles of object in buckets.
