Benefits of Object Expiration
Terms or components
This feature introduces several new concepts. The meanings of these new concepts and terms are defined here. Other existing terms are also defined for clarity.
Workflow
Use cases
The On-prem Object Expiration feature can be used on buckets to delete versioned and non-versioned objects automatically. The feature can also be used to automatically abort incomplete multipart uploads.
Feature impact and remediation
This feature can have a negative performance impact due to the background services. It can be remediated by setting the object scan rate and delete rates to a suitable value. The value must be low enough to not have major performance impacts, but high enough to ensure scanning and reclamation finish within the one-day cycle.
Deployment
This feature is first enabled on a storage pool level, at which point scan or delete rates are set. After that, the user can enable object expiration on individual vaults on the storage pool. Finally, the user can add lifecycle policies to each bucket with expiration that is enabled by using the S3 PUT bucket lifecycle API.
Operations
Two utilities are provided through the Manager for monitoring the progress of expiration.
