S3 life-cycle is not working

Question

S3 life cycle is not working, I have configured this life-cycle policy 2 days back but still, my objects are showing in S3-RRS

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

The process that archives files to Glacier can take up to 48 hours to take effect. However, you will receive the billing benefit immediately.

So, check again after 48 hours to confirm whether it is working as expected.

By the way, RRS (Reduced Redundancy Storage) stores data in only two data centers instead of the normal three data centers. Historically it was a lower cost, but these days it is not cheaper, so should be avoided. There is no benefit to using RRS (and it is possibly more expensive).
