Manage S3 bucket lifecycle rules in AWS.

Requirements 

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

python >= 3.6
boto3 >= 1.15.0
botocore >= 1.18.0

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
abort_incomplete_multipart_upload_days integer added in 2.2.0 of community.aws	Specifies the days since the initiation of an incomplete multipart upload that Amazon S3 will wait before permanently removing all parts of the upload.
aws_access_key aliases: ec2_access_key, access_key string	`AWS access key`. If not set then the value of the `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `AWS_ACCESS_KEY` or `EC2_ACCESS_KEY` environment variable is used. If profile is set this parameter is ignored. Passing the aws_access_key and profile options at the same time has been deprecated and the options will be made mutually exclusive after 2022-06-01.
aws_ca_bundle path	The location of a CA Bundle to use when validating SSL certificates. Not used by boto 2 based modules. Note: The CA Bundle is read ‘module’ side and may need to be explicitly copied from the controller if not run locally.
aws_config dictionary	A dictionary to modify the botocore configuration. Parameters can be found at https://botocore.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/config.html#botocore.config.Config. Only the ‘user_agent’ key is used for boto modules. See http://boto.cloudhackers.com/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html#boto for more boto configuration.
aws_secret_key aliases: ec2_secret_key, secret_key string	`AWS secret key`. If not set then the value of the `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, `AWS_SECRET_KEY`, or `EC2_SECRET_KEY` environment variable is used. If profile is set this parameter is ignored. Passing the aws_secret_key and profile options at the same time has been deprecated and the options will be made mutually exclusive after 2022-06-01.
debug_botocore_endpoint_logs boolean	Use a botocore.endpoint logger to parse the unique (rather than total) “resource:action” API calls made during a task, outputing the set to the resource_actions key in the task results. Use the aws_resource_action callback to output to total list made during a playbook. The ANSIBLE_DEBUG_BOTOCORE_LOGS environment variable may also be used. Choices: no ← (default) yes
ec2_url aliases: aws_endpoint_url, endpoint_url string	URL to use to connect to EC2 or your Eucalyptus cloud (by default the module will use EC2 endpoints). Ignored for modules where region is required. Must be specified for all other modules if region is not used. If not set then the value of the EC2_URL environment variable, if any, is used.
expiration_date string	Indicates the lifetime of the objects that are subject to the rule by the date they will expire. The value must be ISO-8601 format, the time must be midnight and a GMT timezone must be specified. This cannot be specified with expire_object_delete_marker
expiration_days integer	Indicates the lifetime, in days, of the objects that are subject to the rule. The value must be a non-zero positive integer. This cannot be specified with expire_object_delete_marker
expire_object_delete_marker boolean added in 2.2.0 of community.aws	Indicates whether Amazon S3 will remove a delete marker with no noncurrent versions. If set to `true`, the delete marker will be expired; if set to `false` the policy takes no action. This cannot be specified with expiration_days or expiration_date. Choices: no yes
name string / required	Name of the S3 bucket.
noncurrent_version_expiration_days integer	The number of days after which non-current versions should be deleted.
noncurrent_version_storage_class string	The storage class to which non-current versions are transitioned. Choices: glacier ← (default) onezone_ia standard_ia intelligent_tiering deep_archive
noncurrent_version_transition_days integer	The number of days after which non-current versions will be transitioned to the storage class specified in noncurrent_version_storage_class.
noncurrent_version_transitions list / elements=dictionary	A list of transition behaviors to be applied to noncurrent versions for the rule. Each storage class may be used only once. Each transition behavior contains these elements transition_days storage_class
prefix string	Prefix identifying one or more objects to which the rule applies. If no prefix is specified, the rule will apply to the whole bucket.
profile aliases: aws_profile string	Using profile will override aws_access_key, aws_secret_key and security_token and support for passing them at the same time as profile has been deprecated. aws_access_key, aws_secret_key and security_token will be made mutually exclusive with profile after 2022-06-01.
purge_transitions boolean	Whether to replace all the current transition(s) with the new transition(s). When `false`, the provided transition(s) will be added, replacing transitions with the same storage_class. When true, existing transitions will be removed and replaced with the new transition(s) Choices: no yes ← (default)
region aliases: aws_region, ec2_region string	The AWS region to use. If not specified then the value of the AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION environment variable, if any, is used. See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#ec2_region
requester_pays boolean	The requester_pays option does nothing and will be removed after 2022-06-01 Choices: no yes
rule_id string	Unique identifier for the rule. The value cannot be longer than 255 characters. A unique value for the rule will be generated if no value is provided.
security_token aliases: aws_security_token, access_token string	`AWS STS security token`. If not set then the value of the `AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN` or `EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN` environment variable is used. If profile is set this parameter is ignored. Passing the security_token and profile options at the same time has been deprecated and the options will be made mutually exclusive after 2022-06-01.
state string	Create or remove the lifecycle rule. Choices: present ← (default) absent
status string	If `enabled`, the rule is currently being applied. If `disabled`, the rule is not currently being applied. Choices: enabled ← (default) disabled
storage_class string	The storage class to transition to. Choices: glacier ← (default) onezone_ia standard_ia intelligent_tiering deep_archive
transition_date string	Indicates the lifetime of the objects that are subject to the rule by the date they will transition to a different storage class. The value must be ISO-8601 format, the time must be midnight and a GMT timezone must be specified. If (transition_days) is not specified, this parameter is required.
transition_days integer	Indicates when, in days, an object transitions to a different storage class. If transition_date is not specified, this parameter is required.
transitions list / elements=dictionary	A list of transition behaviors to be applied to the rule. Each storage class may be used only once. Each transition behavior may contain these elements transition_days transition_date storage_class
validate_certs boolean	When set to “no”, SSL certificates will not be validated for communication with the AWS APIs. Choices: no yes ← (default)
wait boolean added in 1.5.0 of community.aws	Wait for the configuration to complete before returning. Choices: no ← (default) yes

Notes 

Note

If specifying expiration time as days then transition time must also be specified in days.
If specifying expiration time as a date then transition time must also be specified as a date.
If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence AWS_URL or EC2_URL, AWS_PROFILE or AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID or AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY or AWS_SECRET_KEY or EC2_SECRET_KEY, AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN, AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION, AWS_CA_BUNDLE
When no credentials are explicitly provided the AWS SDK (boto3) that Ansible uses will fall back to its configuration files (typically ~/.aws/credentials). See https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/guide/credentials.html for more information.
Modules based on the original AWS SDK (boto) may read their default configuration from different files. See https://boto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html for more information.
AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION can be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be defined in the configuration files.
