AWS S3 versioning

Amazon S3 versioning is a means of keeping multiple variants of an object in the same bucket. It is disabled by default.

• Each version of an object is the entire object; it is not just a diff from the previous version
• Use AWS S3 lifecycle to manage retention periods

Terraform:

• Terraform resource: aws_s3_versioning

AWS CLI:

• aws s3api get-bucket-versioning
• aws s3api put-bucket-versioning
