# tigris buckets lifecycle create

Create a new lifecycle rule. A rule must include a transition (`--storage-class` with `--days` or `--date`) and/or an expiration (`--expire-days` or `--expire-date`), and may optionally be scoped via `--prefix`.

**Alias:** `c`

## Examples[​](#examples "Direct link to Examples")

```
# Transition all objects to STANDARD_IA after 30 days

tigris buckets lifecycle create my-bucket --storage-class STANDARD_IA --days 30



# Scope to a prefix: archive logs/ to GLACIER after 90 days

tigris buckets lifecycle create my-bucket --prefix logs/ --storage-class GLACIER --days 90



# Expire objects under tmp/ after 7 days

tigris buckets lifecycle create my-bucket --prefix tmp/ --expire-days 7



# Transition then expire: archive/ → GLACIER at 30d, delete at 365d

tigris buckets lifecycle create my-bucket --prefix archive/ \

  --storage-class GLACIER --days 30 --expire-days 365
