Synopsis ¶

Manage s3 bucket lifecycle rules in AWS

Requirements ¶

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

boto
python >= 2.6
python-dateutil

Parameters ¶

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
aws_access_key		AWS access key. If not set then the value of the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY environment variable is used. aliases: ec2_access_key, access_key
aws_secret_key		AWS secret key. If not set then the value of the AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_KEY, or EC2_SECRET_KEY environment variable is used. aliases: ec2_secret_key, secret_key
ec2_url		Url to use to connect to EC2 or your Eucalyptus cloud (by default the module will use EC2 endpoints). Ignored for modules where region is required. Must be specified for all other modules if region is not used. If not set then the value of the EC2_URL environment variable, if any, is used.
expiration_date		Indicates the lifetime of the objects that are subject to the rule by the date they will expire. The value must be ISO-8601 format, the time must be midnight and a GMT timezone must be specified.
expiration_days		Indicates the lifetime, in days, of the objects that are subject to the rule. The value must be a non-zero positive integer.
name required		Name of the s3 bucket
noncurrent_version_expiration_days (added in 2.6)		Delete noncurrent versions this many days after they become noncurrent
noncurrent_version_storage_class (added in 2.6)	Choices: glacier ← onezone_ia standard_ia	Transition noncurrent versions to this storage class
noncurrent_version_transition_days (added in 2.6)		Transition noncurrent versions this many days after they become noncurrent
noncurrent_version_transitions (added in 2.6)		A list of transition behaviors to be applied to noncurrent versions for the rule. Each storage class may be used only once. Each transition behavior contains these elements transition_days storage_class
prefix		Prefix identifying one or more objects to which the rule applies. If no prefix is specified, the rule will apply to the whole bucket.
profile (added in 1.6)		Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0.
purge_transitions bool (added in 2.6)	Choices: no yes ←	"Whether to replace all the current transition(s) with the new transition(s). When false, the provided transition(s) will be added, replacing transitions with the same storage_class. When true, existing transitions will be removed and replaced with the new transition(s)
region		The AWS region to use. If not specified then the value of the AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION environment variable, if any, is used. See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#ec2_region aliases: aws_region, ec2_region
rule_id		Unique identifier for the rule. The value cannot be longer than 255 characters. A unique value for the rule will be generated if no value is provided.
security_token (added in 1.6)		AWS STS security token. If not set then the value of the AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN environment variable is used. aliases: access_token
state	Choices: present ← absent	Create or remove the lifecycle rule
status	Choices: enabled ← disabled	If 'enabled', the rule is currently being applied. If 'disabled', the rule is not currently being applied.
storage_class	Choices: glacier ← onezone_ia standard_ia	The storage class to transition to. Currently there are two supported values - 'glacier', 'onezone_ia', or 'standard_ia'. The 'standard_ia' class is only being available from Ansible version 2.2.
transition_date		Indicates the lifetime of the objects that are subject to the rule by the date they will transition to a different storage class. The value must be ISO-8601 format, the time must be midnight and a GMT timezone must be specified. If transition_days is not specified, this parameter is required."
transition_days		Indicates when, in days, an object transitions to a different storage class. If transition_date is not specified, this parameter is required.
transitions (added in 2.6)		A list of transition behaviors to be applied to the rule. Each storage class may be used only once. Each transition behavior may contain these elements transition_days transition_date storage_class
validate_certs bool (added in 1.5)	Choices: no yes ←	When set to "no", SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0.

Notes ¶

Note

If specifying expiration time as days then transition time must also be specified in days
If specifying expiration time as a date then transition time must also be specified as a date
If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence AWS_URL or EC2_URL, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID or AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY or AWS_SECRET_KEY or EC2_SECRET_KEY, AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN, AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION
Ansible uses the boto configuration file (typically ~/.boto) if no credentials are provided. See https://boto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html
AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION can be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be configured in the boto config file
