How to Resolve Manually
This Config Rule checks your Amazon S3 Buckets for existing Lifecycle rules. If the Amazon S3 Bucket does not have any Lifecycle rule present the S3 Bucket will be marked as NON_COMPLIANT.
Here's how you can create your own Amazon S3 Lifecycle rule for your S3 Bucket so that you can be compliant with this particular AWS Config Rule. An Amazon S3 Lifecycle rule will automatically transition objects in your S3 Bucket into either a more archival storage class, or if no longer needed after a set time period, will set them to expire and delete them if you so desire.
To start this process, navigate to your Amazon S3 Dashboard within the AWS Console. Choose your Amazon S3 Bucket and head on over to the Management Tab, where you will find the Lifecycle Rules at the top.
Once you have created an Amazon S3 Bucket Lifecycle rule and applied it to your S3 Bucket, this Config Rule will be COMPLIANT with this particular resource. Remember they are on a 1-to-1 relationship so you will need to create lifecycle rule for each Amazon S3 Bucket.
