Use object tagging for lifecycle management - Object Storage Service

You can configure lifecycle rules for Object Storage Service (OSS) objects with specified tags and objects whose names contain specified prefixes. You can also specify a combination of prefixes and tags as conditions of lifecycle rules.

Note

If you configure tag conditions, the rule applies only to objects that meet the tag key and value conditions. If a prefix and multiple object tags are configured in a rule, the rule applies only to objects that match the prefix and object tag conditions.

Usage notes

In this topic, the public endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. If you want to access OSS by using other Alibaba Cloud services in the same region as OSS, use an internal endpoint. For more information about the regions and endpoints supported by OSS, see Regions and endpoints.
In this topic, an OSSClient instance is created by using an OSS endpoint. If you want to create an OSSClient instance by using custom domain names or Security Token Service (STS), see Create an OSSClient instance.

Specify tags in a lifecycle rule

The following sample code provides an example on how to specify tags in a lifecycle rule:

#include <alibabacloud/oss/OssClient.h>
using namespace AlibabaCloud::OSS;

int main(void)
{
    /* Initialize information about the account that is used to access OSS. */
            
    /* Specify the endpoint of the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. */
    std::string Endpoint = "yourEndpoint";
    /* Specify the name of the bucket. Example: examplebucket. */
    std::string BucketName = "examplebucket";

    /* Initialize resources, such as network resources. */
    InitializeSdk();

    ClientConfiguration conf;
    /* Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured. */
    auto credentialsProvider = std::make_shared<EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider>();
    OssClient client(Endpoint, credentialsProvider, conf);

    SetBucketLifecycleRequest request(BucketName);

    /* Specify tags. */
    Tagging tagging;
    tagging.addTag(Tag("key1", "value1"));
    tagging.addTag(Tag("key2", "value2"));

    /* Specify a lifecycle rule for the bucket. */
    auto rule1 = LifecycleRule();
    rule1.setID("rule1");
    rule1.setPrefix("test1/");
    rule1.setStatus(RuleStatus::Enabled);
    rule1.setExpiration(3);
    rule1.setTags(tagging.Tags());

    /* Specify the tags for the lifecycle rule. */
    LifecycleRuleList list{rule1};
    request.setLifecycleRules(list);
    auto outcome = client.SetBucketLifecycle(request);

    if (!outcome.isSuccess()) {
        /* Handle exceptions. */
        std::cout << "SetBucketLifecycle fail" <<
        ",code:" << outcome.error().Code() <<
        ",message:" << outcome.error().Message() <<
        ",requestId:" << outcome.error().RequestId() << std::endl;
        return -1;
    }

    /* Release resources, such as network resources. */
    ShutdownSdk();
    return 0;
}

Query tags configured in a lifecycle rule

The following sample code provides an example on how to query tags configured in a lifecycle rule:

#include <alibabacloud/oss/OssClient.h>
using namespace AlibabaCloud::OSS;

int main(void)
{
    /* Initialize information about the account that is used to access OSS. */
            
    /* Specify the endpoint of the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. */
    std::string Endpoint = "yourEndpoint";
    /* Specify the name of the bucket. Example: examplebucket. */
    std::string BucketName = "examplebucket";

    /* Initialize resources, such as network resources. */
    InitializeSdk();

    ClientConfiguration conf;
    /* Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured. */
    auto credentialsProvider = std::make_shared<EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider>();
    OssClient client(Endpoint, credentialsProvider, conf);

    /* Display the specified lifecycle rule and the tagging configurations in the rule. */
    auto outcome = client.GetBucketLifecycle(BucketName);

    if (outcome.isSuccess()) {
        std::cout << "GetBucketLifecycle success," << std::endl;
        for (auto const rule : outcome.result().LifecycleRules()) {
            std::cout << "rule:" << rule.ID() << "," << rule.Prefix() << "," << rule.Status() << ","
            "hasExpiration:" << rule.hasExpiration() << "," <<
            "hasTransitionList:" << rule.hasTransitionList() << "," << std::endl;

          auto taglist = rule.Tags();
          for (const auto& tag : taglist)
          {
              std::cout <<"GetBucketLifecycle tag success, Key:" 
              << tag.Key() << "; Value:" << tag.Value() << std::endl;
          }
        }
    }
    else {
        /* Handle exceptions. */
        std::cout << "GetBucketLifecycle fail" <<
        ",code:" << outcome.error().Code() <<
        ",message:" << outcome.error().Message() <<
        ",requestId:" << outcome.error().RequestId() << std::endl;
        return -1;
    }

    /* Release resources, such as network resources. */
    ShutdownSdk();
    return 0;
}
