Did you know that S3 offers object locks that protect data from being deleted?
It helps you to protect very valuable data or fulfill compliance rules ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡
(1/3) There are two different retention modes, which are both protecting your object from being altered or deleted.
The differences:
ยท compliance: there's no way of removing the lock before its expiration.
ยท governance: special rights allow altering or removing the lock.
(2/3) Retention periods
It's possible to define the time frame for which a lock is active on an object.
This can be extended at any time.
After expiration, your object will lose its lock and retention configuration.
Usecases: protecting backups until they are outdated.
(3/3) Applying lock configurations automatically
You can specify bucket configurations to automatically apply locks for new objects.
Usecases: for buckets storing log data, which has to be kept for compliance for a certain period of time.
