NoncurrentVersionExpiration - Amazon Simple Storage Service

NoncurrentVersionExpiration

Specifies when noncurrent object versions expire. Upon expiration, Amazon S3 permanently deletes the noncurrent object versions. You set this lifecycle configuration action on a bucket that has versioning enabled (or suspended) to request that Amazon S3 delete noncurrent object versions at a specific period in the object's lifetime.

Note

This parameter applies to general purpose buckets only. It is not supported for directory bucket lifecycle configurations.

NewerNoncurrentVersions

Amazon S3 will permanently delete any additional noncurrent versions beyond the specified number to retain. For more information about noncurrent versions, see Lifecycle configuration elements in the Amazon S3 User Guide.
