S3 buckets with versioning enabled should have lifecycle policies configured

Severity: Medium

Resource Types: AWS::S3::Bucket

Description

This control checks if Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) version enabled buckets have lifecycle policy configured. This rule fails if Amazon S3 lifecycle policy is not enabled.

It is recommended to configure lifecycle rules on your Amazon S3 bucket as these rules help you define actions that you want Amazon S3 to take during an object's lifetime.
