Abstract
Methods and apparatus for storage lifecycle configuration management are disclosed. A storage medium stores program instructions that, when executed on a processor, implement a storage lifecycle manager. The manager receives a lifecycle policy to be applied to storage objects of a container of a storage service. The policy indicates lifecycle transitions to be implemented for the objects. The manager stores (a) a policy modification sequence number (PMSN) indicative of a most recent modification of the policy and (b) a policy application sequence number (PASN) associated with the particular logical container, where the PASN is based on the PMSN. The manager later compares the PMSN and the PASN to determine whether a lifecycle transition is to be performed, and if the transition is to be performed, schedules one or more operations for the transition.
