Examples

# Note: These examples do not set authentication details, see the AWS Guide for details.

# Configure a lifecycle rule on a bucket to expire (delete) items with a prefix of /logs/ after 30 days
- s3_lifecycle:
    name: mybucket
    expiration_days: 30
    prefix: /logs/
    status: enabled
    state: present

# Configure a lifecycle rule to transition all items with a prefix of /logs/ to glacier after 7 days and then delete after 90 days
- s3_lifecycle:
    name: mybucket
    transition_days: 7
    expiration_days: 90
    prefix: /logs/
    status: enabled
    state: present

# Configure a lifecycle rule to transition all items with a prefix of /logs/ to glacier on 31 Dec 2020 and then delete on 31 Dec 2030.
# Note that midnight GMT must be specified.
# Be sure to quote your date strings
- s3_lifecycle:
    name: mybucket
    transition_date: "2020-12-30T00:00:00.000Z"
    expiration_date: "2030-12-30T00:00:00.000Z"
    prefix: /logs/
    status: enabled
    state: present

# Disable the rule created above
- s3_lifecycle:
    name: mybucket
    prefix: /logs/
    status: disabled
    state: present

# Delete the lifecycle rule created above
- s3_lifecycle:
    name: mybucket
    prefix: /logs/
    state: absent

# Configure a lifecycle rule to transition all backup files older than 31 days in /backups/ to standard infrequent access class.
- s3_lifecycle:
    name: mybucket
    prefix: /backups/
    storage_class: standard_ia
    transition_days: 31
    state: present
    status: enabled

Notes

Note

  • If specifying expiration time as days then transition time must also be specified in days
  • If specifying expiration time as a date then transition time must also be specified as a date
  • If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence AWS_URL or EC2_URL, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID or AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY or AWS_SECRET_KEY or EC2_SECRET_KEY, AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN, AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION
  • Ansible uses the boto configuration file (typically ~/.boto) if no credentials are provided. See http://boto.readthedocs.org/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html
  • AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION can be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be configured in the boto config file
