EnableS3Versioning

S3 bucket versioning for Rack-managed buckets. This affects all the buckets created for this Rack.

| Default value | Suspended | | Allowed values | Enabled, Suspended |

Use Cases

• Enable versioning to protect against accidental object deletion or overwrites in Rack-managed S3 buckets.
• Required by compliance frameworks (e.g., SOC 2, HIPAA) that mandate versioned storage for audit trails.
• Enables the ability to recover previous versions of build artifacts or other Rack-managed objects.

Additional Information

When set to Enabled, S3 retains all versions of every object stored in the Rack's buckets. This includes previous versions of overwritten objects and delete markers for removed objects. Versioned objects consume additional storage, which will increase your S3 costs.

When set to Suspended, S3 stops creating new versions but preserves any existing versions that were created while versioning was enabled.

Note that once versioning has been enabled on a bucket, it cannot be fully disabled -- it can only be suspended. Existing object versions will remain until explicitly deleted.
