What is the execution frequency of the Lifecycle rules?

0

I configured my custom Lifecycle rule: files older than 1 day must be migrated to glacier.

I uploaded a file yesterday (about 5pm). As of 6pm today, the file is still in the standard S3 area.

My Lifecycle rule uses prefixes. I don't understand if the configuration is wrong or I have to wait for the technical execution time of the job.

Please support me

Typically transition rules triggers once every day from backend and in dashboard it takes bit of time to show as well (depends on number of objects getting transitioned). Possible for you to share the lifecycle policy here , possibilities of some missing step in lifecycle settings.

The triggering of lifecycle rules is an automated process that is triggered at 12 am UTC[1] and we list the objects in your bucket and find the objects eligible for storage class transition or expiration (deletion). Then, the actions are applied on the objects asynchronously[2]. Depending on the number of objects, it could take a few days for the actions to complete, especially if there are millions of objects eligible for changes.

You can refer to this article to troubleshoot why isn't the lifecycle rule on your Amazon S3 bucket working even though you applied it more than one day ago [3].

Hope this helps,

Jon

My bucket has 2 folders/prefix: stage and archive.

Requirement: all files older than 1 day located in the "stage" folder must be moved to glacier area. the others must remain in the standard area.

This is my lifecycle rule

This is stage folder

  • Is the file size important? Because some my files are 0kb and They have not been migrated
