PUT Bucket lifecycle

OBS supports periodic transition and deletion of objects in a bucket based on a specified rule. This is implemented in lifecycle configuration. After the bucket lifecycle is set, OBS automatically deletes objects at the time specified in this operation. This operation can be used to delete:

• Periodically uploaded files: Some periodically uploaded files need to be retained for only one week or one month.

• Documents that are seldom accessed after a certain period of time. These documents may be archived for another period of time and be deleted then.

• The minimum time for the transition of the bucket storage to Warm or to Cold can be configured. The value ranges from 24 to 8640.

This operation is used to create or update the lifecycle configuration of a bucket.

Only users granted the s3:PutLifecycleConfiguration permission can create or update the bucket lifecycle configuration. By default, only the bucket owner can set the bucket lifecycle configuration. The bucket owner can allow other users to set the bucket lifecycle configuration by granting them the permission.

The lifecycle configuration supports periodic deletion and transition of objects. If you want to prevent a user from deleting and transitioning objects, disable the following permissions:

• s3:DeleteObject

• s3:DeleteObjectVersion

• s3:PutLifecycleConfiguration

If you want to prevent a user configuring a bucket lifecycle, revoke the s3:PutLifecycleConfiguration permission from the user.

Request Parameters

This request involves no parameters.

Request Headers

The request uses one header, as described in Table 1.

Table 1 Request header

Header	Description	Remarks
Content-MD5	The MD5 digest string of the message body is calculated according to the RFC 1864 standard. That is, calculate the 128-bit binary array (the message header data encrypted with MD5) first, and then use Base 64 encoding to convert the binary data to a character string. Type: String Example: n58IG6hfM7vqI4K0vnWpog==	Mandatory
x-amz-security-token	Header field used to identify the request of a federated user. When the federal authentication function is enabled, users sending such requests are identified as federated users. Type: string	Optional. This parameter must be carried in the request sent by federated users.

Request Elements

In this request, you need to specify the lifecycle configuration in the request body using the elements described in Table 2.

Table 2 Request elements for lifecycle configuration

Element	Description	Remarks
Date	Indicates when the specified rule takes effect (applicable to the latest object version). The date value must conform to ISO 8601 format. The time is always midnight UTC. Type: String Ancestor: Expiration, Transition	Mandatory if the Days parameter is absent.
Days	Indicates the number of days after object creation when the specified rule takes effect. Type: Positive integer Ancestor: Expiration, Transition	Mandatory if the Date parameter is absent.
StorageClass	Indicates the new storage class of the object. Type: STANDARD_IA or GLACIER Ancestor: Transition, NoncurrentVersionTransition	Mandatory if Transition or NoncurrentVersionTransition is present.
Transition	Indicates the element of the transition time and new storage class (applicable to the latest version of the object) in the lifecycle configuration. Type: XML Children: Date or Days, StorageClass Ancestor: Rule	Mandatory if NoncurrentVersionTransition, Expiration, and NoncurrentVersionExpiration are absent.
Expiration	Indicates the container for the object expiration rule. Type: XML Children: Date or Days Ancestor: Rule	Mandatory if Transition, NoncurrentVersionTransition, and NoncurrentVersionExpiration are absent.
ID	Indicates the unique identifier of a rule. The value can contain a maximum of 255 characters. Type: String Ancestor: Rule	Optional
LifecycleConfiguration	Indicates the container for lifecycle rules. You can add multiple rules. The total size of the rules cannot exceed 20 KB. Type: XML Children: Rule Ancestor: None	Mandatory
NoncurrentDays	Indicates the number of days after object is noncurrent when the specified rule takes effect. Type: Positive integer Ancestor: NoncurrentVersionExpiration, NoncurrentVersionTransition	Mandatory if the NoncurrentVersionExpiration or NoncurrentVersionTransition parameter is present.
NoncurrentVersionTransition	Indicates the element of the transition time and new storage class (applicable to historical versions) in the lifecycle configuration. Type: XML Children: NoncurrentDays, StorageClass Ancestor: Rule	Mandatory if Transition, Expiration, and NoncurrentVersionExpiration are absent.
NoncurrentVersionExpiration	Indicates the container for the noncurrent object expiration rule. You set this lifecycle configuration action on a bucket that has versioning enabled (or suspended) to request that OBS delete noncurrent object versions which meet the expiration rule. Type: XML Children: NoncurrentDays Ancestor: Rule	Mandatory if Transition, Expiration, and NoncurrentVersionTransition are absent.
AbortIncompleteMultipartUpload	Container for specifying when the not merged parts (fragments) in an incomplete upload will be deleted. Type: XML Children node: DaysAfterInitiation Ancestor node: Rule	Required if the Transition, Expiration, NoncurrentVersionExpiration, or NoncurrentVersionTransition element is absent.
DaysAfterInitiation	Specifies the number of days since the initiation of an incomplete multipart upload that OBS will wait before deleting the not merged parts (fragments) of the upload. Type: positive integer Ancestor node: AbortIncompleteMultipartUpload	Required if the AbortIncompleteMultipartUpload element is absent.
Prefix	Indicates the object key prefix identifying one or more objects to which the rule applies. Type: String Ancestor: Rule	Mandatory
Rule	Indicates the container for lifecycle rules. Type: Container Ancestor: LifecycleConfiguration	Mandatory
Status	Indicates whether the rule is enabled. Type: String Ancestor: Rule Valid Values: Enabled, Disabled	Mandatory

If the multi-version of a bucket is enabled or suspended, you can set NoncurrentVersionExpiration or NoncurrentVersionTransition to control the lifecycle of historical object versions. The lifecycle of a historical version depends on the time when the version becomes a historical one, that is, the version is overwritten by a new version (NoncurrentDays).

In deletion circumstances, if NoncurrentDays is 1, a version can only be deleted one day after it has become a historical version. For example, the V1 version of object A is created on the first day of a month, and its new version V2 is uploaded on the fifth day of the month. Then V1 becomes a historical version. One day later, that is, when the 0 o'clock of the seventh day comes, V1 expires. If an object version does not meet the deletion conditions, NoncurrentDays is 1, and StorageClass is STANDARD_IA, a version transitions to the Warm storage class one day after it has become a historical version. For example, the V1 version of object A is created on the first day of a month, and its new version V2 is uploaded on the fifth day of the month. Then V1 becomes a historical version. One day later, that is, when the 0 o'clock of the seventh day comes, V1 transitions to the Warm storage class. (Remarks: There is a delay of less than 48 hours for such a deletion or transition upon object expiration.)

The following lists the background processing for when the multi-version of a bucket is enabled or suspended and the object of the latest version meets expiration rules:

• The multi-version of the bucket is enabled:

  • If the object of the latest version is not deletemarker, a new deletemarker is generated for the object.

  • If the object of the latest version is deletemarker and the object has this version only, the version will be deleted.

  • If the object of the latest version is deletemarker and the object has other versions, all versions of the object remain unchanged.

• The multi-version of the bucket is suspended:

  • If the latest version is not null, deletemarker of a null version will be generated.

  • If the latest version is null, the null version will be overwritten by deletemarker of a new null version.

If the bucket versioning is Enabled or Suspended and the latest version of the object meets the transition rule:

• If the latest version is deletemarker, this version will not transition to another storage class.

• If the latest version is deletemarker and the object meets the transition conditions, this version will transition to another storage class.
