Amazon Simple Storage Service: Object Lifecycle Management

This is an important aspect of solution design to keep cost optimized by well-defined lifecycle. Lifecycle configuration enables to specify the lifecycle management of bucket in the bucket. This configuration is a set of rules, defines an action for AWS S3 to apply to a group of objects. These actions are classified as Transition actions and Expiration action.
  • Transition actions are to transit to object from one storage class to another storage class based on rules configured by user or AWS S3
  • Expiration Actions are to remove/delete/expire object from storage class based on rules configured by user or AWS S3
There are following AWS limitation or restriction of Object Lifecycle configuration
  • Transition from STANDARD or REDUCED_REDUNDANCY storage classes to STANDARD_IA, following constraint, will be applying 
    • An object must meet the minimum size condition to apply transition actions. AWS S3 does not transition the object which is less than 128KB
    • An object must be in standard storage class for minimum 30 days. AWS S3 does not transition object which age is less than 30 days in standard storage
    • for versioning enabled bucket, transitioning of noncurrent object to Standard-IA storage class can be done if objects are at least 30 days noncurrent
  • An object cannot be transitioned to Glacier from Standard storage. Object must have to follow the path  Standard Storage --> Standard-IA storage --> Glacier
  • An object must be in Standard-IA for at least 30 days before transitioning to Glacier for archival, and an expiration.
  • Transition from STANDARD_IA storage class to the STANDARD and or REDUCED_REDUNDANCY classes are not supported
  • Transition from GLACIER to any other storage class is not supported
Lifecycle configurations can be added to non-versioned buckets and versioning-enabled buckets if MFA is not enabled. Lifecycle configurations on MFA-enabled buckets are not supported.

AWS Identity and access management (IAM)

What is the Amazon Identity and access management tool (AWS IAM) A centralized service which is used to control user access and AWS resource use.  Provides shared access to AWS account. Each user will have own user id and Password for authentication and access to AWS what has been permitted to use by each individual Provides Granular permission to each individual access to AWS resources. This enforces the security and access governance by limiting the each individual access to AWS, according to job responsibility  Provides security for AWS resources that are used by application which is running on EC2 instances  Supports multi-factor authentication (MFA) to root user extra access security called two-factor authentication. User need to provide user id, password and a code from special device which is mapped to that root account  Support Identity Federation, this means, users can access AWS account with their own corporate credential or internet identity providers. this provide
