Configuring Lifecycle Rules for a Bucket (SDK for Go)

Function

You can configure lifecycle rules to periodically delete objects or transition objects between storage classes. For more information, see Lifecycle Management.

This API configures lifecycle rules for a bucket.

  • Expired objects will be permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.
  • Multi-AZ redundancy is not available for Archive storage. For this reason, buckets or objects with multi-AZ redundancy cannot be transitioned to the Archive storage class based on a lifecycle rule.
  • The minimum storage duration is 30 days for Infrequent Access storage, and 90 days for Archive storage. After an object is transitioned to the Archive storage class, if it stays in this storage class for less than 90 days, you still need to pay for a full 90 days.

Restrictions

  • There is no limit on the number of lifecycle rules in a bucket, but the total size of XML descriptions about all lifecycle rules in a bucket cannot exceed 20 KB.
  • A maximum of 20 lifecycle rules can be configured for a parallel file system.
  • To configure a lifecycle rule for a bucket, you must be the bucket owner or have the required permission (obs:bucket:PutLifecycleConfiguration in IAM or PutLifecycleConfiguration in a bucket policy). For details, see Introduction to OBS Access Control, IAM Custom Policies, and Creating a Custom Bucket Policy.

string

Yes

Explanation:

Bucket name

Restrictions:

  • A bucket name must be unique across all accounts and regions.
  • A bucket name:
    • Must be 3 to 63 characters long and start with a digit or letter. Lowercase letters, digits, hyphens (-), and periods (.) are allowed.
    • Cannot be formatted as an IP address.
    • Cannot start or end with a hyphen (-) or period (.).
    • Cannot contain two consecutive periods (..), for example, my..bucket.
    • Cannot contain a period (.) and a hyphen (-) adjacent to each other, for example, my-.bucket or my.-bucket.
  • If you repeatedly create buckets of the same name in the same region, no error will be reported and the bucket attributes comply with those set in the first creation request.

Default value:

None

LifecycleRules

[]LifecycleRule

Yes

Explanation:

Lifecycle rule information. For details, see Table 3.

Table 3 LifecycleRule

Parameter

Type

Mandatory (Yes/No)

Description

string

No if used as a request parameter

Explanation:

Lifecycle rule ID

Value range:

The value must contain 1 to 255 characters.

Default value:

None

Prefix

string

Yes if used as a request parameter

Explanation:

Object name prefix. It identifies the objects the rule applies to. You can leave this parameter blank to apply the rule to all objects in the bucket.

Assume that you have the following objects: logs/day1, logs/day2, logs/day3, and ExampleObject.jpg. If you set Prefix to ExampleObject.jpg, the rule applies to object ExampleObject.jpg only. If you set Prefix to logs/, the rule applies to the three objects with name starting with logs/. If you leave Prefix blank, the rule applies to all objects in the bucket.

Value range:

The value must contain 1 to 1,024 characters.

Default value:

None

Status

RuleStatusType

Yes if used as a request parameter

Explanation:

Whether the rule is enabled

Value range:

See Table 4.

Default value:

None

Transitions

[]Transition

Explanation:

Policies for storage class transition, including transition time and the storage class after transition. For details, see Table 5.

Restrictions:

This parameter applies only to the current object version.

Expiration

Expiration

No if used as a request parameter

Explanation:

Object expiration time. For details, see Table 7.

Restrictions:

This parameter applies only to the current object version.

NoncurrentVersionTransitions

[]NoncurrentVersionTransition

No if used as a request parameter

Explanation:

Policies for storage class transition, including transition time and the storage class after transition. For details, see Table 8.

Restrictions:

  • This parameter applies only to noncurrent object versions.
  • Versioning is enabled (or suspended after being enabled) for the bucket.

NoncurrentVersionExpiration

NoncurrentVersionExpiration

No if used as a request parameter

Explanation:

Expiration time of noncurrent object versions. For details, see Table 9.

Restrictions:

  • This parameter applies only to noncurrent object versions.
  • Versioning is enabled (or suspended after being enabled) for the bucket.
CAUTION:

This parameter is not available for parallel file systems.

Transitions, Expiration, NoncurrentVersionTransitions, and NoncurrentVersionExpiration cannot be all left blank.

Table 4 RuleStatusType

Disabled

Table 5 Transition

Parameter

Type

Mandatory (Yes/No)

Description

StorageClass

StorageClassType

Yes if used as a request parameter

Explanation:

Storage class of the object after transition

Restrictions:

  • The Standard storage class is not supported.
  • Restrictions on storage class transitions:
    • Only transitions from the Standard storage class to the Infrequent Access storage class are supported. To transition objects from Infrequent Access to Standard, you must manually do it.
    • Only transitions from the Standard or Infrequent Access storage class to the Archive storage class are supported. To transition objects from Archive to Standard or Infrequent Access, you must restore the archived objects first and then manually transition their storage classes.
    • Multi-AZ redundancy is not available for Archive storage. For this reason, buckets or objects with multi-AZ redundancy cannot be transitioned to the Archive storage class based on a lifecycle rule.

Value range:

See Table 6.

Default value:

None

Explanation:

OBS executes the lifecycle rule for objects that were modified before the specified date.

Restrictions:

The value must conform with the ISO8601 standards and must be at 00:00 (UTC time). For example, 2018-01-01T00:00:00.000Z, indicating only objects that were last modified before that time are transitioned to the specified storage class.

Sample code: time.Now().Add(time.Duration(24) * time.Hour)

Default value:

None
