Creating and managing an object lifecycle configuration using the AWS CLI

You can use Amazon S3 Lifecycle to optimize storage capacity for Amazon S3 compatible storage on Snow Family devices. You can create lifecycle rules to expire objects as they age or are replaced by newer versions. You can create, enable, disable, or delete a lifecycle rule. For more information about Amazon S3 Lifecycle, see Managing your storage lifecycle.

To create and manage a lifecycle configuration for an Amazon S3 compatible storage on Snow Family devices bucket using the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), see the following examples.

PUT a lifecycle configuration on a Snowball Edge bucket

The following AWS CLI example puts a lifecycle configuration policy on a Snowball Edge bucket. This policy specifies that all objects that have the flagged prefix (myprefix) and tags expire after 10 days. To use this example, replace each user input placeholder with your own information.

First, save the lifecycle configuration policy to a JSON file. For this example, the file is named lifecycle-example.json.

{
    "Rules": [{
        "ID": "id-1",
        "Filter": {
            "And": {
                "Prefix": "myprefix",
                "Tags": [{
                        "Value": "mytagvalue1",
                        "Key": "mytagkey1"
                    },
                    {
                        "Value": "mytagvalue2",
                        "Key": "mytagkey2"
                    }
                ]
            }
        },
        "Status": "Enabled",
        "Expiration": {
            "Days": 10
        }
    }]
}

After you save the file, submit the JSON file as part of the put-bucket-lifecycle-configuration command. To use this command, replace each user input placeholder with your own information.
