I have set up an S3 bucket consisting of 2 main paths:
- private/
- public/
For the private/ folder I would like the following rule to be set up:
- Versions of all files in private/ are sent to S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval* and are kept for a minimum of 10 years.
And for the public/ folder the following rule:
- Versions of all files in public/ are sent to S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval* and are kept for a minimum of 6 months.
I currently have created the lifecycle rule for the public/ folder on a testing S3 bucket, and I have tried setting the expiration date to 1 day, to see if it works. However it does not.
This is the lifecycle rule which I created:
So basically I have selected:
- "Move noncurrent versions of objects between storage classes" checked and in this one I choose the option Glacier Instant Retrieval with 0 days after objects become noncurrent. And left the "Number of newer versions to retain" field empty.
For this point when I browse to my S3 bucket and I click on a version that has the delete marker set on them, it shows me "Storage class: Standard". Why is this not in the Glacier Instant Retrieval storage?
- "Permanently delete noncurrent versions of objects" checked and I selected 1 in the "Days after objects become noncurrent".
For the object I am looking at the versions, they are all 2 days old but they are still all in there. Why aren't they deleted?
