how we can delete delete files of s3bucket automatically having certain pattern i.e folder names contains run?

Question

how we can delete files of s3bucket automatically having a certain pattern i.e folder names containing run after 180 days?

run01 run02 run03 name01

o/p: only the first 3 folders containing 'run' in its name should get deleted after 180 days

was trying s3 bucket life cycle rule but seems it does not support regex

would appreciate any help

AWS S3 does not support this functionality out of the box. They do not have any lifecycle policy that would delete or move objects based on the object names. You can use the AWS CLI to fetch all the files, filter them and then delete the files that match the regex.

You could try this

aws s3 rm <your_bucket_name> --exclude "*" --include "run*"

You could try this

aws s3 rm  --exclude "*" --include "run*"
