Lifecycle Policiesin Nutanix Objects allow administrators toautomate data tiering and archivalbased on specific criteria, including object tagging. According to the NUSA training:
“A Lifecycle Policy, combined with a Cloud Bucket Endpoint, enables automatic movement of objects (based on tags) to a remote Nutanix Objects instance or compatible S3 storage.”
Here’s the detailed process:
The administrator first configures aCloud Bucket Endpointto establish connectivity to theremote Nutanix Objects instance.
Then, they create aLifecycle Policythat targets objects with specific tags for tiering.
This policy ensures that onlytagged objectsmeeting the policy’s criteria are moved to the remote storage location.
Enabling WORM on the bucket is not required for tiering; WORM is forimmutability. Thekey mechanismfor tiering tagged objects is:
????Cloud Bucket Endpoint + Lifecycle Policy for tagged objects.
