Manage bucket permissions

For detailed information about managing bucket permissions, refer to Manage bucket permissions.

Manage bucket

You can create and manage lifecycle policies for the bucket.

info

The user must have a role that includes getIamPolicy to view permission information.

Configure lifecycle

Based on the lifecycle policy, objects in a bucket can be deleted or moved to another type of bucket after a specified period (minimum 1 day, maximum 18,250 days or 50 years). Object migration to another bucket type will be supported in future updates. You can apply lifecycle policies to all objects or selectively by prefix or object tag.

1. Go to KakaoCloud Console > Beyond Storage Service > Object Storage.

2. Click the target bucket in the Standard bucket menu.

3. In the bucket detail page, go to the Manage tab.

4. Click [Create lifecycle], configure the policy, and click [Create].

   

   Field	Description
   Target bucket	Bucket where the lifecycle is applied
   Lifecycle policy name	A name to distinguish the lifecycle policy
   Rule	Specifies which objects the lifecycle policy applies to - All objects: Applies the policy to all objects - Specify prefix: Enter the object prefix (e.g., apply to all objects starting with elastic-) - Specify tag: Specify object tags
   Action	Lifecycle policy to apply - Delete after expiration: Deletes the object after the specified duration
   Retention period	How long the object will be retained in the bucket

info

You can configure AbortIncompleteMultiPartUpload via the API.
This rule aborts incomplete file uploads after a specific time, helping reduce storage costs.
