Is it possible to create multiple prefix in AWS S3 LifeCycle

In AWS life cycle management , can we create one rule with multiple prefix . I went through this blog https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/manage-lifecycle-using-dot-net.html

but this documentation shows example of only one rule and one prefix

is there any other way i can create multiple prefix by having only one rule.

There is one more option like Tag , which i don't know how it works or can it be helpful in achieving my goal

Thanks in advance

You can use one prefix per rule, but you can add multiple rules with only the prefixes changed. There is even an example in the aws docs:

<LifecycleConfiguration>
    <Rule>
        <Filter>
           <Prefix>projectA/</Prefix>
        </Filter>
        transition/expiration actions.
         ...
    </Rule>

    <Rule>
        <Filter>
           <Prefix>projectB/</Prefix>
        </Filter>
        transition/expiration actions.
         ...
    </Rule>
</LifecycleConfiguration>

Tagging means you can attach tags to objects and the lifecycle rule will apply to objects that have that particular tag. From the same docs:

<LifecycleConfiguration>
    <Rule>
        <Filter>
           <Tag>
              <Key>key</Key>
              <Value>value</Value>
           </Tag>
        </Filter>
        transition/expiration actions.
        ...
    </Rule>
</LifecycleConfiguration>

In this case, the rule is effective for objects that have key=value tags. More info: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/object-tagging.html
