S3 Lifecycle, Versioning, and Replication
Configure S3 versioning, lifecycle policies, cross-region replication, and Object Lock to master data durability and cost optimization on AWS.
Lab Overview
Build a production-grade S3 storage strategy from scratch. You will enable versioning to protect against accidental overwrites, create lifecycle policies that automatically transition objects through storage classes, set up cross-region replication for disaster recovery, and explore Object Lock for regulatory compliance.
You'll learn to:
- Enable and use S3 versioning to track object history
- Create lifecycle policies that transition objects from Standard to
Standard-IA to Glacier Flexible Retrieval
- Configure cross-region replication with the required IAM role
- Use Object Lock in Governance mode to prevent object deletion
- Analyze storage classes across buckets
What You'll Learn
Enable S3 versioning and list object versions
Create lifecycle policies to automate storage class transitions
Configure cross-region replication with an IAM replication role
Use Object Lock to enforce retention policies
Identify and compare S3 storage classes
