S3 Versioning and Replication Recovery

Build a resilient S3 setup: enable versioning, configure cross-region replication to us-east-2, recover from accidental deletes via delete markers, and apply a lifecycle policy.

S3 Versioning and Replication Recovery - Platform Engineering Hands-On Lab Icon

Lab Overview

In this lab you will build a production-style S3 resilience pattern using versioning, Cross-Region Replication (CRR), and lifecycle rules.

You will:

  • Create a source bucket in us-east-1 and a destination bucket in us-east-2 with versioning enabled on both
  • Create an IAM role that S3 will assume to perform replication, and attach a least-privilege policy
  • Configure a CRR rule on the source bucket targeting the destination
  • Upload an object, observe it replicate, simulate accidental deletion, then recover by removing the delete marker
  • Apply a lifecycle policy that transitions current versions to Standard-IA at 30 days and expires noncurrent versions after 7 days

Everything runs from a single AWS workstation against a TeKanAid-provisioned AWS lab account.

What You'll Learn

Enable versioning on S3 buckets in two regions

Create an IAM role and policy that S3 can assume for replication

Configure a Cross-Region Replication (CRR) rule on a source bucket

Recover from accidental deletion by removing a delete marker

Apply a lifecycle policy with storage class transitions and noncurrent version expiration
