Use this action to manage EFS lifecycle management and intelligent tiering. A LifecycleConfiguration
consists of one or more LifecyclePolicy
objects that define the following:
EFS Lifecycle management - When Amazon EFS automatically transitions files in a file system into the lower-cost Infrequent Access (IA) storage class. To enable EFS Lifecycle management, set the value of TransitionToIA
to one of the available options.
EFS Intelligent tiering - When Amazon EFS automatically transitions files from IA back into the file system’s primary storage class (Standard or One Zone Standard. To enable EFS Intelligent Tiering, set the value of TransitionToPrimaryStorageClass
to AFTER_1_ACCESS
.
For more information, see EFS Lifecycle Management .
Each Amazon EFS file system supports one lifecycle configuration, which applies to all files in the file system. If a LifecycleConfiguration
object already exists for the specified file system, a PutLifecycleConfiguration
call modifies the existing configuration. A PutLifecycleConfiguration
call with an empty LifecyclePolicies
array in the request body deletes any existing LifecycleConfiguration
and turns off lifecycle management and intelligent tiering for the file system.
In the request, specify the following:
The ID for the file system for which you are enabling, disabling, or modifying lifecycle management and intelligent tiering.
A LifecyclePolicies
array of LifecyclePolicy
objects that define when files are moved into IA storage, and when they are moved back to Standard storage.
Note
Amazon EFS requires that each LifecyclePolicy
object have only have a single transition, so the LifecyclePolicies
array needs to be structured with separate LifecyclePolicy
objects. See the example requests in the following section for more information.
This operation requires permissions for the elasticfilesystem:PutLifecycleConfiguration
operation.
To apply a LifecycleConfiguration
object to an encrypted file system, you need the same Key Management Service permissions as when you created the encrypted file system.

put-lifecycle-configuration
--file-system-id <value>
--lifecycle-policies <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
--file-system-id
(string)
The ID of the file system for which you are creating the
LifecycleConfiguration
object (String).
--lifecycle-policies
(list)
An array of
LifecyclePolicy
objects that define the file system’sLifecycleConfiguration
object. ALifecycleConfiguration
object informs EFS lifecycle management and EFS Intelligent-Tiering of the following:
When to move files in the file system from primary storage to the IA storage class.
When to move files that are in IA storage to primary storage.
Note
When using the
put-lifecycle-configuration
CLI command or thePutLifecycleConfiguration
API action, Amazon EFS requires that eachLifecyclePolicy
object have only a single transition. This means that in a request body,LifecyclePolicies
must be structured as an array ofLifecyclePolicy
objects, one object for each transition,TransitionToIA
,TransitionToPrimaryStorageClass
. See the example requests in the following section for more information.(structure)
Describes a policy used by EFS lifecycle management and EFS Intelligent-Tiering that specifies when to transition files into and out of the file system’s Infrequent Access (IA) storage class. For more information, see EFS Intelligent‐Tiering and EFS Lifecycle Management .

. For more information, see the request examples in PutLifecycleConfiguration .TransitionToIA -> (string)
Describes the period of time that a file is not accessed, after which it transitions to IA storage. Metadata operations such as listing the contents of a directory don’t count as file access events.
TransitionToPrimaryStorageClass -> (string)
Describes when to transition a file from IA storage to primary storage. Metadata operations such as listing the contents of a directory don’t count as file access events.

--cli-input-json
| --cli-input-yaml
(string)
Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton
. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml
.
--generate-cli-skeleton
(string)
Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input
, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json
. Similarly, if provided yaml-input
it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml
. If provided with the value output
, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.
LifecyclePolicies -> (list)
An array of lifecycle management policies. EFS supports a maximum of one policy per file system.

Describes a policy used by EFS lifecycle management and EFS Intelligent-Tiering that specifies when to transition files into and out of the file system’s Infrequent Access (IA) storage class. For more information, see EFS Intelligent‐Tiering and EFS Lifecycle Management .
