Abstract
Methods and apparatus for lifecycle support for storage objects are disclosed. A storage medium stores program instructions that when executed on a processor implement a storage lifecycle manager of a multi-tenant storage service. The lifecycle manager determines a lifecycle policy to be implemented for a storage object. The policy indicates lifecycle transitions of the object, including a transition from a first service level to a second service level. The first service level and the second service level may each specify a maximum number of versions of the storage object. The lifecycle manager initiates modification operations corresponding to the storage object's data in accordance with the lifecycle policy, and verifies that the modification operations succeeded. The lifecycle manager provides, in response to a query, an indication of a current service level of the storage object.
