View and Edit S3 Lifecycle Policy

0

Good day. I'm fairly inexperienced in using the console. I'd like to view and edit our S3 lifecycle policy; specifically, I want to change the interval between object upload and migration to Glacier Deep Archive. If someone's willing to explain this to a freshman, that would be a big help. Thanks in advance.

  • But importantly, make sure to add a size limit for any rule that transitions objects to any of the Glacier classes, particularly Deep Archive. If you transition small or tiny objects, the 8 kiB of overhead charged at Standard class rates and 32 kiB of overhead charged at the respective Glacier rate will increase costs for small objects, rather than saving a single cent. I would generally recommend setting the transitioning threshold to Deep Archive to 1 MiB or 256 kiB, unless it's certain that there are lots of smaller objects that would benefit from it.

  • This was very helpful information; thanks very much for taking the time to post your answer.

  • This rule is missing a minimum size filter. Small objects will cost more if they're transitioned to Glacier Deep Archive, so a minimum size limit should always be applied in transitioning rules.

  • Many thanks for taking the time to post these screenshots; very helpful.
