Lifecycle

Prev Next

The object lifecyle management feature establishes a lifecycle policy with rules to define actions that you want Wasabi to take during the life of an object. This feature replaces the need to manually delete an object after a retention period. In addition, note the following:

  • Lifecycle management policies are evaluated and run once daily at 00:00 UTC.

  • Once a lifecycle management policy is defined, it may take 24-48 hours for it to run.

  • For buckets with versioning enabled and with a large number of objects (for example, over 10 million), lifecycle rule processing may require more time to complete.

  • Lifecycle rules cannot delete objects that are under retention due to Object Lock.

  • Lifecycle rules cannot be created or enabled on S3 buckets with activated MFA-Delete because these features are mutually exclusive.
