Managing AWS S3 Lifecycle and Glacier Integration with Terraform
In this lab learners will learn how to use S3 lifecycle policies to transition data objects to different levels of storage based on their access frequency. Doing this frees up company storage space and can potentially save the company thousands of dollars by moving data objects to cheaper storage options automatically. In particular learners will get practice using terraform to automate the creation of S3 buckets with an associated lifecycle policy to move data to Amazon’s long term data retrieval storage, Amazon S3 Glacier.
