Cloud Storage: New Prefix and Sufix Lifecycle Rules


Google Cloud Storage is happy to announce powerful new object lifecycle rules (GCS) to help customers manage their storage costs in innovative ways. This launch includes two new features.

Conditions for the prefix/suffix lifecycle

Customers had many lifecycle conditions available before this launch. These included the object's age, version history, custom timestamps, and other details. Customers can now add conditions to the objects' names, such as matching a prefix and a suffix.

The Prefix and Sufix Conditions can be helpful in a variety of situations. Here are two examples:

Separate management of common object prefixes. It is quite common to group objects with a common prefix such as in a data set. Lifecycle conditions can now act on these groups by using a matchesPrefix rule.

Separate management of categories. You can also use extensions on object keys to indicate the format of data:.mp4,.zip, etc. Customers may have multiple of these objects within one bucket and wish to be able to use the extension to separate them. One great example is when customers have many binary objects that are rarely read, but metadata about them using a different extension that's read frequently (think,.mov, and.xml). It is now possible to save costs by keeping the metadata "hot" and the bulk of your data "cold" with a matchesSuffix rule.

Cleaning up multipart uploads that are not complete

We launched the Multipart Upload protocol within our XML API in 2021. Our S3 compatibility was greatly improved, which made it easier for our customers to migrate. Multipart uploads can sometimes be abandoned. This is a common problem. Part storage can be expensive so it is important to prune abandoned uploads. Customers can now "set it and forget it" with GCS Support for Incomplete Multipart Uploads .

All of our customers now have access to these new lifecycle features. These features are available through the GCS API and GCS GUI.
