Use PutBucketLifecycleConfiguration with an AWS SDK or CLI

        public static async Task AddExampleLifecycleConfigAsync(IAmazonS3 client, string bucketName, LifecycleConfiguration configuration)
        {
            var request = new PutLifecycleConfigurationRequest()
            {
                BucketName = bucketName,

            var response = await client.PutLifecycleConfigurationAsync(request);
        }

The following command applies a lifecycle configuration to a bucket named my-bucket:

aws s3api put-bucket-lifecycle-configuration --bucket my-bucket --lifecycle-configuration  file://lifecycle.json

The file lifecycle.json is a JSON document in the current folder that specifies two rules:

{
    "Rules": [
        {
            "ID": "Move rotated logs to Glacier",
            "Prefix": "rotated/",
            "Status": "Enabled",
            "Transitions": [
                {
                    "Date": "2015-11-10T00:00:00.000Z",
                    "StorageClass": "GLACIER"
                }
            ]
        },
        {
            "Status": "Enabled",
            "Prefix": "",
            "NoncurrentVersionTransitions": [
                {
                    "NoncurrentDays": 2,
                    "StorageClass": "GLACIER"
                }
            ],
            "ID": "Move old versions to Glacier"
        }
    ]
}

The first rule moves files with the prefix rotated to Glacier on the specified date. The second rule moves old object versions to Glacier when they are no longer current. For information on acceptable timestamp formats, see Specifying Parameter Values in the AWS CLI User Guide.
