Configure lifecycle

Depending on the bucket's life cycle policy, files in the bucket can be automatically deleted or moved to a different type of bucket after a certain period of time (minimum 1 day to maximum 18,250 days (50 years)). The ability to move files to other types of buckets will be updated in the future.
