  • Use the oci os object-lifecycle-policy get command and required parameters to get the object lifecycle policy configuration for a bucket.

    oci os object-lifecycle-policy get --bucket-name bucket_name [OPTIONS]

    For example:

    oci os object-lifecycle-policy get --bucket-name MyStandardTierBucket
    {
      "data": {
        "items": [
          {

            "is-enabled": true,
            "name": "Delete-Failed-Multipart-Uploads-Rule",
            "object-name-filter": null,
            "target": "multipart-uploads",
            "time-amount": 5,
            "time-unit": "DAYS"
          },
          {
            "action": "DELETE",

            "target": "objects",
            "time-amount": 240,
            "time-unit": "DAYS"
          },
          {
            "action": "INFREQUENT_ACCESS",
            "is-enabled": true,

              "inclusion-patterns": null,
              "inclusion-prefixes": null
            },
            "target": "previous-object-versions",
            "time-amount": 90,

    }

    For example, to get the lifecycle policy that archives objects after 30 days:

    oci os object-lifecycle-policy get --bucket-name MyBucketWithoutVersioning
    {
      "data": {
        "items": [
          {
            "action": "ARCHIVE",
            "is-enabled": true,
            "name": "Archive-After-30-Days-Rule",
            "object-name-filter": {
              "exclusion-patterns": null,
              "inclusion-patterns": null,
              "inclusion-prefixes": null
            },
            "target": "objects",
            "time-amount": 30,
            "time-unit": "DAYS"
          }
        ],
        "time-created": "2020-10-27T17:56:27.085000+00:00"
      },
