Obtaining the Lifecycle Configuration of 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 returns the lifecycle rules of a bucket.

Restrictions

Method

func (obsClient ObsClient) GetBucketLifecycleConfiguration(bucketName string) (output *GetBucketLifecycleConfigurationOutput, err error)

Request Parameters

Table 1 List of request parameters

Parameter

Type

Mandatory (Yes/No)

Description

bucketName

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 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.

Parameter

Type

Description

StatusCode

int

Explanation:

HTTP status code

Value range:

A status code is a group of digits that can be 2xx (indicating successes) or 4xx or 5xx (indicating errors). It indicates the status of a response. For more information, see Status Code.

Table 4 LifecycleRule

Parameter

Type

Description

ID

string

Explanation:

Lifecycle rule ID

Value range:

The value must contain 1 to 255 characters.

Default value:

None

Prefix

string

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

Explanation:

Whether the rule is enabled

Value range:

See Table 5.

Default value:

None

Transitions

[]Transition

Explanation:

Policies for storage class transition, including transition time and the storage class after transition. For details, see Table 6.

Restrictions:

This parameter applies only to the current object version.

Expiration

Expiration

Explanation:

Object expiration time. For details, see Table 8.

Restrictions:

This parameter applies only to the current object version.

NoncurrentVersionTransitions

[]NoncurrentVersionTransition

Explanation:

Policies for storage class transition, including transition time and the storage class after transition. 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.

NoncurrentVersionExpiration

NoncurrentVersionExpiration

Explanation:

Expiration time of noncurrent object versions. For details, see Table 10.

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 6 Transition

Parameter

Type

Description

StorageClass

StorageClassType

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 7.

Default value:

None

Date

time.Time

Explanation:

Date when an object will be transitioned

Restrictions:

The value must conform with the ISO8601 standards and must be at 00:00 (UTC time). For example, 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z, 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

Days

int

Explanation:

Number of days (since the last update was made to the object) after which the lifecycle rule takes effect

Restrictions:

This parameter applies only to the current object version.

Value range:

0 to (231 – 1), in days

Default value:

None

Table 7 StorageClassType

Constant

Default Value

Description

StorageClassStandard

STANDARD

OBS Standard

Features low access latency and high throughput and is used for storing massive, frequently accessed (multiple times a month) or small objects (< 1 MB) requiring quick response.

StorageClassWarm

WARM

OBS Infrequent Access

Used for storing data that is semi-frequently accessed (fewer than 12 times a year) but is instantly available when needed.

StorageClassCold

COLD

OBS Archive

Used for storing rarely accessed (once a year) data.

Table 8 Expiration

Parameter

Type

Mandatory (Yes/No)

Description

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, 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z, indicating only objects that were last modified before that time are deleted.

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

Default value:

None

Days

int

Yes if this parameter is used as a request parameter and Date is absent

Explanation:

Number of days (since the last update was made to the object) after which the lifecycle rule takes effect

Restrictions:

This parameter applies only to the current object version.

Value range:

1 to (231 – 1), in days

Default value:

None

Table 9 NoncurrentVersionTransition

Parameter

Type

Description

StorageClass

StorageClassType

Explanation:

Storage class of noncurrent object versions 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 7.

Default value:

None

NoncurrentDays

int

Explanation:

Number of days an object is noncurrent before the specified rule takes effect

Restrictions:

This parameter applies only to noncurrent object versions.
