Systems and methods for enhancing file systems with file system objects that automatically expire. An example method may involve: scanning, by a processing device, a data storage node, wherein the data storage node comprises multiple certificates associated with file system objects in a plurality of different data storage nodes; iterating through the multiple certificates to determine a set of certificates, wherein the set of certificates comprises certificates that are invalid; and initiating a deletion of the file system objects in the plurality of different storage nodes.

Certificate based expiration of file system objects

Systems and methods for enhancing file systems with file system objects that automatically expire. An example method may comprise: initiating a creation of a file system object in a file system; determining an expiration time for the file system object in view of an expiration policy; transmitting a request to create a certificate associated with the file system object, the request to create the certificate comprising the expiration time for the file system object to include in the certificate; and upon receiving the certificate associated with the file system object, causing the certificate to be stored with a plurality of certificates, wherein the certificate is to indicate whether the file system object is valid at a point in time.
