Description

I miss a resource to add a lifecycle management rule to an existing S3 bucket. In our use-case, this bucket has to be created manually before Terraform applying. The "aws_s3_bucket" resource can't be used for this purpose.

I got this working by creating a null_resource and doing a AWS cli call "put-bucket-lifecycle-configuration" (see reference below) with the rule to be added in a template file. This is kind of hacky but works.

data "template_file" "lifecycle_rule_to_be_added" {
  template = "${file("${path.module}/path/to/templates/lifecycle_rule_to_be_added.tpl")}"

  vars = {
    environment = "${var.environment}"
  }
}

resource "null_resource" "add_lifecycle_rule" {
  depends_on = [
    "null_resource.add_lifecycle_rule",
  ]

  provisioner "local-exec" {
    command = "aws s3api put-bucket-lifecycle-configuration --bucket ${var.infrastructure_bucket} --lifecycle-configuration '${data.template_file.lifecycle_rule.rendered}'"
  }

  provisioner "local-exec" {
    command = "aws s3api delete-bucket-lifecycle --bucket ${var.infrastructure_bucket}"
    when    = "destroy"
  }
}

It would be nice to have a resource (for example "aws_s3_bucket_udpate") which let's you update certain properties of a given S3 bucket (assuming you have the right role). The api could be similar to the "aws_s3_bucket" resource.

I guess there are also other properties of a S3 that users would like to add or update.
