This course has been created for those looking to better manage their storage lifecycle and S3 storage costs or those already planning on implementing or using Lifecycle configurations that may need more information on how they work.
Prerequisites
To get the most from this course, you should have a strong understanding of S3, including knowledge of storage classes, multipart uploads, object versioning, object tags, and prefixes. Familiarity with XML and JSON will help you understand some of the practical parts of this course. For more information on the S3 service, check out existing content here: Deep Dive: Amazon S3.
In this course, I talked a lot about lifecycle configurations. At this point, you should have a better understanding of lifecycle configurations, including what they are, how to use them, and how they can help minimize storage spend.
Hopefully, you’re familiar with the structure of a lifecycle configuration, and excited to get started with the service and create lifecycle configurations to better manage your storage costs.
If you would like to get some hands-on experience with Lifecycle configurations, then take a look at the following lab titled: Handling S3 Objects Events With Lifecycle Policies and Server Access Logging.
