Object lifecycles
Written by
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.
- Deleting incomplete multipart uploads.
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:
-
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.
