Lifecycle Management Service

This Backbeat extension gives Zenko conformity to AWS S3 lifecycle rules. Specifically, lifecycle management gives users the ability to specify a time threshold beyond which certain files are to be moved (lifecycle transition) or expunged (lifecycle expiration) to free up storage space or reduce storage costs.

Zenko follows the S3 API to provide three calls to manage lifecycle properties per bucket:

• PUT Bucket Lifecycle
• GET Bucket Lifecycle
• DELETE Bucket Lifecycle

These calls manage bucket attributes related to lifecycle behavior, which are stored as bucket metadata.
