Description

Warning

For an updated version of this API, see GetBucketLifecycleConfiguration . If you configured a bucket lifecycle using the filter element, you should see the updated version of this topic. This topic is provided for backward compatibility.

Note

This operation is not supported for directory buckets.

Returns the lifecycle configuration information set on the bucket. For information about lifecycle configuration, see Object Lifecycle Management .

To use this operation, you must have permission to perform the s3:GetLifecycleConfiguration action. The bucket owner has this permission by default. The bucket owner can grant this permission to others. For more information about permissions, see Permissions Related to Bucket Subresource Operations and Managing Access Permissions to Your Amazon S3 Resources .

GetBucketLifecycle has the following special error:
  • Error code: NoSuchLifecycleConfiguration
    • Description: The lifecycle configuration does not exist.
    • HTTP Status Code: 404 Not Found
    • SOAP Fault Code Prefix: Client

Options

--bucket (string)

The name of the bucket for which to get the lifecycle information.

--expected-bucket-owner (string)

The account ID of the expected bucket owner. If the account ID that you provide does not match the actual owner of the bucket, the request fails with the HTTP status code 403 Forbidden (access denied).

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Examples

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

The following command retrieves the lifecycle configuration for a bucket named my-bucket:

aws s3api get-bucket-lifecycle --bucket my-bucket

Output:

Output

Rules -> (list)

Container for a lifecycle rule.

(structure)

Specifies lifecycle rules for an Amazon S3 bucket. For more information, see Put Bucket Lifecycle Configuration in the Amazon S3 API Reference . For examples, see Put Bucket Lifecycle Configuration Examples .

Expiration -> (structure)

Specifies the expiration for the lifecycle of the object.

Date -> (timestamp)

Indicates at what date the object is to be moved or deleted. The date value must conform to the ISO 8601 format. The time is always midnight UTC.

Note

This parameter applies to general purpose buckets only. It is not supported for directory bucket lifecycle configurations.

Days -> (integer)

Indicates the lifetime, in days, of the objects that are subject to the rule. The value must be a non-zero positive integer.

ExpiredObjectDeleteMarker -> (boolean)

Indicates whether Amazon S3 will remove a delete marker with no noncurrent versions. If set to true, the delete marker will be expired; if set to false the policy takes no action. This cannot be specified with Days or Date in a Lifecycle Expiration Policy.

Note

This parameter applies to general purpose buckets only. It is not supported for directory bucket lifecycle configurations.

ID -> (string)

Unique identifier for the rule. The value can't be longer than 255 characters.

Prefix -> (string)

Object key prefix that identifies one or more objects to which this rule applies.

Warning

Replacement must be made for object keys containing special characters (such as carriage returns) when using XML requests. For more information, see XML related object key constraints .

Status -> (string)

If Enabled , the rule is currently being applied. If Disabled , the rule is not currently being applied.

Transition -> (structure)

Specifies when an object transitions to a specified storage class. For more information about Amazon S3 lifecycle configuration rules, see Transitioning Objects Using Amazon S3 Lifecycle in the Amazon S3 User Guide .

Date -> (timestamp)

Indicates when objects are transitioned to the specified storage class. The date value must be in ISO 8601 format. The time is always midnight UTC.

Days -> (integer)

Indicates the number of days after creation when objects are transitioned to the specified storage class. The value must be a positive integer.

StorageClass -> (string)

The storage class to which you want the object to transition.

NoncurrentVersionTransition -> (structure)

Container for the transition rule that describes when noncurrent objects transition to the STANDARD_IA , ONEZONE_IA , INTELLIGENT_TIERING , GLACIER_IR , GLACIER , or DEEP_ARCHIVE storage class. If your bucket is versioning-enabled (or versioning is suspended), you can set this action to request that Amazon S3 transition noncurrent object versions to the STANDARD_IA , ONEZONE_IA , INTELLIGENT_TIERING , GLACIER_IR , GLACIER , or DEEP_ARCHIVE storage class at a specific period in the object's lifetime.

NoncurrentDays -> (integer)

Specifies the number of days an object is noncurrent before Amazon S3 can perform the associated action. For information about the noncurrent days calculations, see How Amazon S3 Calculates How Long an Object Has Been Noncurrent in the Amazon S3 User Guide .

StorageClass -> (string)

The class of storage used to store the object.

NewerNoncurrentVersions -> (integer)

Specifies how many noncurrent versions Amazon S3 will retain in the same storage class before transitioning objects. You can specify up to 100 noncurrent versions to retain. Amazon S3 will transition any additional noncurrent versions beyond the specified number to retain. For more information about noncurrent versions, see Lifecycle configuration elements in the Amazon S3 User Guide .

NoncurrentVersionExpiration -> (structure)

Specifies when noncurrent object versions expire. Upon expiration, Amazon S3 permanently deletes the noncurrent object versions. You set this lifecycle configuration action on a bucket that has versioning enabled (or suspended) to request that Amazon S3 delete noncurrent object versions at a specific period in the object's lifetime.

Note

This parameter applies to general purpose buckets only. It is not supported for directory bucket lifecycle configurations.

NoncurrentDays -> (integer)

Specifies the number of days an object is noncurrent before Amazon S3 can perform the associated action. The value must be a non-zero positive integer. For information about the noncurrent days calculations, see How Amazon S3 Calculates When an Object Became Noncurrent in the Amazon S3 User Guide .

Note

This parameter applies to general purpose buckets only. It is not supported for directory bucket lifecycle configurations.

NewerNoncurrentVersions -> (integer)

Specifies how many noncurrent versions Amazon S3 will retain. You can specify up to 100 noncurrent versions to retain. Amazon S3 will permanently delete any additional noncurrent versions beyond the specified number to retain. For more information about noncurrent versions, see Lifecycle configuration elements in the Amazon S3 User Guide .

Note

This parameter applies to general purpose buckets only. It is not supported for directory bucket lifecycle configurations.

AbortIncompleteMultipartUpload -> (structure)

Specifies the days since the initiation of an incomplete multipart upload that Amazon S3 will wait before permanently removing all parts of the upload. For more information, see Aborting Incomplete Multipart Uploads Using a Bucket Lifecycle Configuration in the Amazon S3 User Guide .

DaysAfterInitiation -> (integer)

Specifies the number of days after which Amazon S3 aborts an incomplete multipart upload.
