S3 Object Versioning

Object Versioning is used to store multiple copies of an object within the same bucket. Each of these copies corresponds to the content of the object at a specific moment in the past. This functionality can be used to protect the objects of a bucket against overwriting or accidental deletion.

This functionality, which allows a historical record of the objects in a bucket, requires that it be enabled at the bucket level, thus giving rise to three different states of the bucket:'unversioned', 'versioning enabled' or 'versioning suspended'.

When a bucket is created, it is always in the 'unversioned state'.

When the functionality is enabled, the bucket can switch between the states 'versioning enabled' or 'versioning suspended' but can not return to the state 'unversioned state', that is, you can not disable the versioning of the bucket once it is enabled. It can only be suspended.

Each version of an object is identified through a VersionID. When the bucket is not versioned, the VersionID will be a null value. In a versioned bucket, updating an object through a PUT request will store a new object with an unique VersionID.

Access to a version of an object in a bucket can be done through its name or combination name and VersionID. In the case of accessing by name only, the most recent version of the object will be recovered.

In the case of deleting an object in a versioned bucket, access attempts, through GET requests, will return an error, unless a VersionID is included. To restore a deleted object it is not necessary to download and upload the object. It is sufficient to issue a COPY operation including a specific VersionID. We will show you in this guide.

To test the versioning of objects we can use the AWS CLI, an open source tool that provides commands to interact with AWS services from a terminal program. Specifically we will use the AWS CLI’s API-level commands, contained in the s3api command set.

Versioned bucket

For non versioned bucket, if an object with the same key is uploaded it overwrites the object. For versioned bucket, if an object with the same key is uploaded the new uploaded object becomes the current version and the previous object becomes the non current version:

For proper functionality, it is necessary to use the --endpoint-url option for all commands for the relevant S3 addresses of the services operated by the CESNET association.

The bucket name must be unique and should contain only uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and dashes and periods. The bucket name must only start with a letter or number and must not contain periods next to dashes or multiple periods. We also recommend not using “/” and “_” in the name, as this would make it impossible to use it via the API.

$ aws s3api create-bucket --bucket "bucket name" --profile "profil name" --endpoint-url=https://s3.cl2.du.cesnet.cz

$ aws s3api get-bucket-versioning --bucket "bucket name" --profile "profil name" --endpoint-url=https://s3.cl2.du.cesnet.cz

$ aws s3api put-bucket-versioning --bucket "bucket name" --versioning-configuration Status=Enabled --profile "profil name" --endpoint-url=https://s3.cl2.du.cesnet.cz

    "MFADelete": "Disabled"
}

On object addition

$ aws s3api put-object --key "file name" --body "file path 1" --bucket "bucket name" --profile "profil name" --endpoint-url=https://s3.cl2.du.cesnet.cz

                "ID": "user$tenant"
            }
        }
    ]
}

On object retrieval

For a versionless bucket with object lookup, it always returns a single available object. For a bucket with versioning, the search returns the current object:

$ aws s3api list-object-versions --bucket "bucket name" --profile "profil name" --endpoint-url=https://s3.cl2.du.cesnet.cz 
{
    "Versions": [
        {
            "ETag": "\"5ec0f1a7fc3a60bf9360a738973f014d\"",
            "Size": 13,
            "StorageClass": "STANDARD",
            "Key": "test-key-1",
            "VersionId": "xNQC4pIgMYx59digj5.gk15WC4efOOa",
            "IsLatest": true,
            "LastModified": "2020-05-18T10:34:05.072Z",
            "Owner": {
                "DisplayName": "Testing",
                "ID": "user$tenant"
            }
        },
        {
            "ETag": "\"5ec0f1a7fc3a60bf9360a738973f014d\"",
            "Size": 13,
            "StorageClass": "STANDARD",
            "Key": "test-key-1",
            "VersionId": "KdS5Yl0d06bBSYriIddtVb0h5gofiNX",
            "IsLatest": false,
            "LastModified": "2020-05-18T10:33:53.066Z",
            "Owner": {
                "DisplayName": "Testing",
                "ID": "user$tenant"
            }
        }
    ]
}

$ aws s3api get-object --key "file name" "file name.out" --bucket "bucket name" --profile "profil name" --endpoint-url=https://s3.cl2.du.cesnet.cz 
{
    "AcceptRanges": "bytes",
    "LastModified": "Mon, 18 May 2020 10:34:05 GMT",
    "ContentLength": 13,
    "ETag": "\"5ec0f1a7fc3a60bf9360a738973f014d\"",
    "VersionId": "xNQC4pIgMYx59digj5.gk15WC4efOOa",
    "ContentType": "binary/octet-stream",
    "Metadata": {}
}

For a versioned bucket, inactive objects can be retrieved by specifying the Version ID:

$ aws s3api list-object-versions --bucket "bucket name" --profile "profil name" --endpoint-url=https://s3.cl2.du.cesnet.cz 
{
    "Versions": [
        {
            "ETag": "\"5ec0f1a7fc3a60bf9360a738973f014d\"",
            "Size": 13,
            "StorageClass": "STANDARD",
            "Key": "test-key-1",
            "VersionId": "xNQC4pIgMYx59digj5.gk15WC4efOOa",
            "IsLatest": true,
            "LastModified": "2020-05-18T10:34:05.072Z",
            "Owner": {
                "DisplayName": "Testing",
                "ID": "user$tenant"
            }
        },
        {
            "ETag": "\"5ec0f1a7fc3a60bf9360a738973f014d\"",
            "Size": 13,
            "StorageClass": "STANDARD",
            "Key": "test-key-1",
            "VersionId": "KdS5Yl0d06bBSYriIddtVb0h5gofiNX",
            "IsLatest": false,
            "LastModified": "2020-05-18T10:33:53.066Z",
            "Owner": {
                "DisplayName": "Testing",
                "ID": "user$tenant"
            }
        }
    ]
}

$ aws s3api list-object-versions --bucket "bucket name" --version-id KdS5Yl0d06bBSYriIddtVb0h5gofiNX --bucket "bucket name" --profile "profil name" --endpoint-url=https://s3.cl2.du.cesnet.cz
{
    "AcceptRanges": "bytes",
    "LastModified": "Mon, 18 May 2020 10:33:53 GMT",
    "ContentLength": 13,
    "ETag": "\"5ec0f1a7fc3a60bf9360a738973f014d\"",
    "VersionId": "KdS5Yl0d06bBSYriIddtVb0h5gofiNX",
    "ContentType": "binary/octet-stream",
    "Metadata": {}
}

On object removal

For a versionless bucket, the object is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. For a versioned bucket, all versions remain in the bucket and RGW inserts a delete flag that becomes the current version:

$ aws s3api list-object-versions --bucket "bucket name" --profile "profil name" --endpoint-url=https://s3.cl2.du.cesnet.cz
{
    "Versions": [
        {
            "ETag": "\"5ec0f1a7fc3a60bf9360a738973f014d\"",
            "Size": 13,
            "StorageClass": "STANDARD",
            "Key": "test-key-1",
            "VersionId": "xNQC4pIgMYx59digj5.gk15WC4efOOa",
            "IsLatest": true,
            "LastModified": "2020-05-18T10:34:05.072Z",
            "Owner": {
                "DisplayName": "Testing",
                "ID": "user$tenant"
            }
        },

$ aws s3api list-object-versions --bucket "bucket name" --profile "profil name" --endpoint-url=https://s3.cl2.du.cesnet.cz 
{
    "Versions": [
        {
            "ETag": "\"5ec0f1a7fc3a60bf9360a738973f014d\"",
            "Size": 13,
            "StorageClass": "STANDARD",
            "Key": "test-key-1",
            "VersionId": "xNQC4pIgMYx59digj5.gk15WC4efOOa",
            "IsLatest": false,
            "LastModified": "2020-05-18T10:34:05.072Z",
            "Owner": {
                "DisplayName": "Testing",
                "ID": "user$tenant"
            }
        }
    ],
    "DeleteMarkers": [
        {
            "Owner": {
                "DisplayName": "Testing",
                "ID": "user$tenant"
            },
            "Key": "test-key-1",
            "VersionId": "hxV8on0vry4Oz0FNcgsz88aDcQoZO.y",
            "IsLatest": true,
            "LastModified": "2020-05-18T11:21:57.544Z"
        }
    ]
}

In the case of a versioned bucket, if an object with a specific VersionID is deleted, it is permanently deleted:

$ aws s3api delete-object --key "file name" --version-id KdS5Yl0d06bBSYriIddtVb0h5gofiNX --bucket "bucket name" --profile "profil name" --endpoint-url=https://s3.cl2.du.cesnet.cz
{
    "VersionId": "KdS5Yl0d06bBSYriIddtVb0h5gofiNX"
}

$ aws s3api list-object-versions --bucket "bucket name" --profile "profil name" --endpoint-url=https://s3.cl2.du.cesnet.cz 
{
    "DeleteMarkers": [
        {
            "Owner": {
                "DisplayName": "Testing",
                "ID": "user$tenant"
            },
            "Key": "test-key-1",
            "VersionId": "ZfT16FPCe2xVMjTh-6qqfUzhQnLQMfg",
            "IsLatest": true,
            "LastModified": "2020-05-18T11:22:48.482Z"
        },

}

On object restoration

To restore an object, the recommended approach is to copy the previous version of the object to the same bucket. The copied object becomes the current version of the object and all versions of the object are preserved:

$ aws s3api list-object-versions --bucket "bucket name" --profile "profil name" --endpoint-url=https://s3.cl2.du.cesnet.cz 
{
    "Versions": [
        {
            "ETag": "\"5ec0f1a7fc3a60bf9360a738973f014d\"",
            "Size": 13,
            "StorageClass": "STANDARD",
            "Key": "test-key-1",
            "VersionId": "xNQC4pIgMYx59digj5.gk15WC4efOOa",
            "IsLatest": false,
            "LastModified": "2020-05-18T10:34:05.072Z",
            "Owner": {
                "DisplayName": "Testing",
                "ID": "user$tenant"
            }
        }
    ],
    "DeleteMarkers": [
        {
            "Owner": {
                "DisplayName": "Testing",
                "ID": "user$tenant"
            },
            "Key": "test-key-1",
            "VersionId": "hxV8on0vry4Oz0FNcgsz88aDcQoZO.y",
            "IsLatest": true,
            "LastModified": "2020-05-18T11:21:57.544Z"
        }
    ]
}
