LifecyclePolicy - Amazon Elastic File System
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

LifecyclePolicy

Describes a policy used by lifecycle management that specifies when to transition files into and out of storage classes. For more information, see Managing file system storage.

Note

When using the put-lifecycle-configuration CLI command or the PutLifecycleConfiguration API action, Amazon EFS requires that each LifecyclePolicy object have only a single transition. This means that in a request body, LifecyclePolicies must be structured as an array of LifecyclePolicy objects, one object for each transition. For more information, see the request examples in PutLifecycleConfiguration.
