💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a lifecycle rule name instead of the bucket name.

Leaving the bucket name empty.

The Bucket field must contain the exact name of your S3 bucket where the lifecycle rules apply.

  "Rules": [
    {

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'Active' or 'On' which are not valid status values.

Setting status to 'Disabled' disables the rule.

The Status field must be set to Enabled to activate the lifecycle rule.

Fix the error in the transition action by completing the code with the correct storage class.

    {
      "Days": 30,
      "StorageClass": "[1]"
    }
  ]
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using non-existent storage classes like 'COLD_STORAGE'.

Confusing 'STANDARD_IA' (infrequent access) with Glacier.

The correct storage class for archiving to Glacier is GLACIER. Other options are invalid or do not exist.

Fill both blanks to define a lifecycle rule that deletes objects after 365 days and applies to all objects.

AWS

{
  "Rules": [
    {
      "ID": "DeleteOldObjects",
      "Status": "[1]",
      "Expiration": {
        "Days": [2]
      },
      "Filter": {}
    }
  ]
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Setting status to 'Disabled' disables the rule.

Using wrong number of days for expiration.

The rule must be Enabled to work and the expiration days set to 365 to delete objects after one year.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a lifecycle rule that transitions objects to STANDARD_IA after 60 days, then to GLACIER after 180 days, and is enabled.

AWS

{
  "Rules": [
    {
      "ID": "TransitionStorageClasses",
      "Status": "[1]",
      "Transitions": [
        {"Days": [2], "StorageClass": "STANDARD_IA"},
        {"Days": [3], "StorageClass": "GLACIER"}
      ],
      "Filter": {}
    }
  ]
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

DDisabled

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Setting status to 'Disabled' disables the rule.

Mixing up the days for transitions.

The lifecycle rule must be Enabled. The first transition happens after 60 days to STANDARD_IA, and the second after 180 days to GLACIER.
