A lifecycle rule expiring objects after 30 days is added to a bucket that already holds older objects. What happens?

  1. The existing objects past 30 days are queued for removal immediately
  2. The rule applies only to objects uploaded afterwards
  3. The rule takes effect after the next billing cycle
  4. The rule is rejected because the bucket is not empty
Show the answer

Answer: A. The existing objects past 30 days are queued for removal immediately

A lifecycle configuration applies to objects already in the bucket as well as new ones, so anything past the threshold is acted on at once.
