Getting Information About the Lifecycle Configuration of Your Objects Using AWS CLI

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

To get information about the lifecycle configuration applied to a bucket, use the get-bucket-lifecycle-configuration command following this syntax:

Request sample
$ aws s3api get-bucket-lifecycle-configuration \
    --profile YOUR_PROFILE \
    --bucket BUCKET \
    --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 whose lifecycle configuration you want to retrieve.

  • endpoint: The endpoint corresponding to the Region you want to send the request to.

The get-bucket-lifecycle-configuration command returns the following elements:
