Capabilities

This feature provides automatic deletion of objects and automatic abort of incomplete multipart uploads in a bucket, based on a lifecycle policy that is configured on said bucket. Daily, the system scans the name, version, and multipart transaction indices for all objects (versioned and nonversioned) and incomplete multipart uploads to be expired the following day, and also delete all objects found the previous day. Through this mechanism, objects are deleted within 24 hours of the configured deletion time.

• This feature also provides configuration of the maximum rate at which these scanning and reclamation processes will read/delete objects, reports to monitor the actual rates, and incidents to indicate when these processes take longer than expected.
• Finally, this feature provides access log (lifecycle type) entries of request type S3.EXPIRE.OBJECT, S3.EXPIRE.CREATE_DELETE_MARKER , and S3.DELETE.UPLOAD are logged when the system automatically deletes the objects or aborts incomplete multipart uploads.
