Is there a fixed number for noncurrent versions retained in a versioned S3 bucket prior to StorageGRID 11.7?
Applies to
- Create S3 lifecycle configuration
- StorageGRID 11.6 or earlier: Operations on buckets -> PUT Bucket lifecycle
- StorageGRID 11.7 or later: Operations on buckets -> PutBucketLifecycleConfiguration
Answer
- What's new in StorageGRID 11.7 mentions that
NewerNoncurrentVersions
action can specify the number of noncurrent versions retained in a versioned S3 bucket. In another word, StorageGRID 11.7 or later can supportNoncurrentVersionExpiration
(NewerNoncurrentVersions
,NoncurrentDays
). - But It does not mean the number of versions to retain is fixed for StorageGRID 11.60 or earlier.
- Before StorageGRID 11.7,
NoncurrentVersionExpiration
(NoncurrentDays
) is the only supported configuration for managing the rotation of versioned objects.
