Applying a Lifecycle Configuration to Your Bucket

You can apply a lifecycle configuration to the objects of a bucket. A lifecycle configuration allows you, for example, to set an expiration date to the objects after which they will be automatically deleted.

If a lifecycle configuration has already been added to your bucket, using this command will replace it with a new one.

Applying a Lifecycle Configuration to Your Bucket Using AWS CLI

Before you begin: Install and configure AWS CLI. For more information, see Installing and Configuring AWS CLI.

To apply a lifecycle configuration to the objects of your bucket, use the put-bucket-lifecycle-configuration command following this syntax:

Request sample
$ aws s3api put-bucket-lifecycle-configuration \
    --profile YOUR_PROFILE \
    --bucket BUCKET \
    --lifecycle-configuration file://path/to/configuration/file \
    --endpoint https://oos.eu-west-2.outscale.com

This command contains the following attributes that you need to specify:

  • (optional) profile: The named profile you want to use, created when configuring AWS CLI. For more information, see Installing and Configuring AWS CLI.

  • bucket: The name of the bucket to which you want to add the lifecycle configuration.

  • lifecycle-configuration: The path to the JSON configuration file containing the lifecycle rules to apply to your objects. For more information on how to write this file, see Lifecycle Configuration Reference.

    You can also specify these rules as an inline JSON string.

  • endpoint: The endpoint corresponding to the Region you want to send the request to. For more information, see Installing and Configuring AWS CLI.

The lifecycle configuration is applied to the objects of your bucket.
