--name NAME

Specifies a name for the rule.

--view-id ID

Specifies the ID of the view to which the rule applies.

--enable

Enables the rule on creation.

--disable

Disables the rule on creation.

--prefix PREFIX

Defines a prefix to limit the object scope by object prefix.

In S3 terms, this is a prefix that may be common to multiple object keys (names). Specifying a prefix defines a scope of objects to which the rule applies. For example, if you specify sales/jan, all objects in the view that have object keys that begin with sales/jan will fall into the scope.

In terms of file and directory nomenclature, a prefix is a file and/or directory path within the view that can include part of the file or directory name. It can be common to multiple items in order to catch them all within the scope.

For example, if you want to specify all files under a directory called sales that resides under the view, you can specify salessales/. This prefix will exclude the directory itself from the scope. If you were to specify sales that would include the directory as well as all the files under the directory. If you were to specify sales/j that would include all files under the directory with names that begin with 'j'.

For example: --prefix logs/

--min-size SIZE

Specifies a minimum object size to limit the scope by size.

Specify SIZE as an integer followed by MB, GB, TB, etc.

For example: --min-size 2GB

--max-size SIZE

Specifies a maximum object size to limit the scope by size.

Specify SIZE as an integer followed by MB, GB, TB, etc.

For example: --max-size 1TB

--expiration-days DAYS

Specifies a number of days after objects are created that they expire.

In a non versioned bucket view, expiration means that the object is permanently removed.

In a versioned bucket view, where the objects are versioned:

--enable-expired-obj-delete-marker

Relevant only for versioned buckets.

Enables deletion of expired object delete markers when they become expired object delete markers.

An expired object delete marker is an object version that is the only version of an object and is also a delete marker.

This parameter is mutually exclusive with --expiration-days DAYS, which deletes expired object delete markers when they satisfy the specified age criteria. If you want to expire objects using --expiration-days DAYS and also clean up expired object delete markers as soon as they are created as such, create two separate rules.

--disable-expired-obj-delete-marker

Relevant only for versioned buckets.

Disables deletion of expired object delete markers when they become expired object delete markers.

--noncurrent-days DAYS

Relevant only for versioned buckets. If provided, noncurrent versions of objects are deleted after the specified number of days, provided they are not the newest noncurrent versions up to the number set to be retained, if that number is provided with --newer-noncurrent-versions VERSIONS.

--newer-noncurrent-versions VERSIONS

Relevant only for versioned buckets. Use this parameter to specify a number of noncurrent versions of objects to retain. The newest non current versions up to this number will not expire even if they exceed --noncurrent-days .

--abort-mpu-days-after-initiation DAYS

Specifies to remove incomplete multipart uploads, which are not removed through --expiration-days. The value is the number of days after multipart uploads are started when they should be aborted and removed if they are incomplete.
