A lifecycle rule is a recurring background job, attached to a bucket, that runs against the objects inside it. Use rules to automatically delete old data, clean up incomplete multipart uploads, or move objects to a lower-cost storage class. Rules are evaluated daily and applied automatically.
At least one lifecycle action must be selected when creating a rule.
