Revert S3 Lifecycle Policy

0

Hello everyone

I have a versioned bucket. I applied the wrong lifecycle policy to my entire bucket. Now, all my files have a delete marker on top of them, making them inaccessible. I want to revert this operation.

I know I can go file by file and remove the lifecycle policy. I have the date and time when the delete marker was created and I can delete one by one this way. However, this will take weeks with my current setup since I'm talking about billions of files.

Edit: can I ask AWS to delete all files that have a specific version for me? If I were to delete them myself, this would take too long.

1 - I would like to know what is the quickest way to delete only the delete markers and thus restore the files.

2 - Could AWS do that for me?

Have you considered using CLI or SDK to automate it? https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/s3-undelete-configuration#:~:text=Remove%20the%20delete%20marker%3A%20After,owns%20or%20created%20the%20bucket.

    Yes. I'm currently using both to automate the recovery process. It's working, but I estimate that it will take way too long to finish. My next step is to distribute this process, but it will take me some time to code and finish it. I was hoping that there's a quicker way (even if I have to pay for some AWS support).
