S3
S3 has evolved to offer many classes of storage, access options and different types of events. As data ages, its value can diminish. After some time, we may wish to save money and have it less durably stored. After even more time, we may want to automatically delete it.
S3 offers "unlimited" storage. You can store trillions of objects in an S3 bucket spanning millions of customers or thousands of applications. How can you keep track of when data was created so that you can remove old data that is no longer valuable? S3 offers a solution for this with Lifecycle rules.
Setup an S3 bucket with a Lifecycle rule to delete any object placed in the bucket after one day. In actual use, you can select the amount of time that data is valuable before deletion.
