How does object lock prevent files from being deleted?

Question

Dhananjeyan Gopal · Accepted Answer

Object lock in AWS S3 prevents objects from deletion or overwritten. It uses the WORM (write once and read many) model where objects can be written only once but can be read as many times as needed. In S3 object lock can be done using 1. Retention period: Where a retention time is set for each object, during the retention time object can’t be overwritten or deleted. 2. Legal hold: in legal hold there is no retention time for the object. Once legal hold is applied for an object we can’t delete or overwrite the object until we manually remove the legal hold.

Amazon S3 Object Lock prevents files from being deleted by setting retention periods and applying legal holds. During these times, the files cannot be changed or removed, ensuring that important data is kept safe and compliant with retention policies.
