Managing lifecycles of object in buckets

Object Storage lets you manage lifecycles for objects in buckets.

Management console

AWS CLI

In the management console, go to the bucket you want to configure object lifecycles for.
In the left pane, select Lifecycle.
Click Configure.
On the page that opens, you can add, remove, and edit configuration rules. For a detailed description of the configuration fields, see Bucket object lifecycle configuration.

Note

In the management console, you can't use a single rule to set the criteria for deleting objects or changing the object storage class. Use a separate rule for each type of criteria.

To upload a configuration via the AWS CLI:

Define the object lifecycle configuration in JSON format. For example:

{
    "Rules": [
        {
            "ID": "DeleteOldBackups",
            "Filter": {
                "Prefix": "backup/"
            },
            "Status": "Enabled",
            "Expiration": {
                    "Days": 180
            }
        }
    ]
}

When you're done, you can save your configuration as a file, like lifecycles.json.

Upload the configuration to a bucket, like backup-bucket:

aws s3api put-bucket-lifecycle-configuration \
    --bucket backup-bucket \
    --lifecycle-configuration file://lifecycles.json \
    --endpoint-url=https://storage.yandexcloud.net
