What's new at #AWS 📢
💎 #AmazonS3 is started beginning to apply a default minimum object size of 128 KB for S3 Lifecycle transition rules to any S3 storage class.
💎This change can help optimize customer's transition costs for datasets with many kilobyte-sized objects by reducing the number of transition requests.
💎With this feature, customers can override this new default and customize the minimum object size for S3 Lifecycle transition rules to any value.
💎Since using S3 Lifecycle filters, customers can create custom rules to transition objects based on prefix, tags, and object sizes.
💎This new default behavior will be applied to any new or modified S3 Lifecycle configuration but not automatically changed for existing.
☑ Why to leverage Lifecyle Configuration rules:
✔ The main objective of lifecycle configuration rule to achieve storage cost optimization, based on frequency of retrieval and objects criticality.
✔ Lifecycle configuration rule actions are,
1️⃣ Transition actions – Defines when an objects transition to another storage class.
2️⃣ Expiration actions – Defines when objects can be expired.
📌 Important note:
⚠ This change does not impact objects that have already transitioned.
⚠ Amazon S3 bucket policy wouldn't prevent any deletions or transitions of objects by an S3 Lifecycle rule.
📌 Key note for Pricing 💸 :
⚠ Objects < 128 KB in any storage wouldn't be transitioned by lifecycle rules, instead you can move manually or upload directly to Standard-IA/One zone-IA.
⚠ However Objects <128 KB will always be charged for 128 KB of storage at the appropriate storage class rate.
