S3 Lifecycle, Versioning, and Replication - Platform Engineering Hands-On Lab Icon

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
