<note> <p>Bucket lifecycle configuration now supports specifying a lifecycle rule using an object key name prefix, one or more object tags, or a combination of both. Accordingly, this section describes the latest API. The response describes the new filter element that you can use to specify a filter to select a subset of objects to which the rule applies. If you are using a previous version of the lifecycle configuration, it still works. For the earlier action, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_GetBucketLifecycle.html">GetBucketLifecycle</a>.</p> </note> <p>Returns the lifecycle configuration information set on the bucket.
