Prevent users from modifying or deleting data in a bucket within a specific period of time by configuring retention policies for the bucket by using OSS SDK for PHP - Object Storage Service

The Write Once Read Many (WORM) feature of retention policies in Object Storage Service (OSS) allows you to prevent users from modifying or deleting data. If you do not want anyone, including resource owners, to modify or delete objects in a bucket within a specific period of time, you can configure a retention policy for the bucket. After you configure a retention policy, users can only read the objects in or upload objects to the bucket until the retention period ends. Users can modify or delete objects in the bucket only after the retention period ends.

Usage notes

Before you configure retention policies, make sure that you familiarize yourself with this feature. For more information, see Retention policies.

In this topic, the public endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. If you want to access OSS from other Alibaba Cloud services in the same region as OSS, use an internal endpoint. For more information about OSS regions and endpoints, see Regions, endpoints and open ports.
In this topic, an OSSClient instance is created by using an OSS endpoint. If you want to create an OSSClient instance by using custom domain names or Security Token Service (STS), see Create an OSSClient instance.

Create a retention policy

The following sample code provides an example on how to create a retention policy:

<?php
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../autoload.php';
}
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';
}

use OSS\Credentials\EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider;
use OSS\OssClient;
use OSS\CoreOssException;

// Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured.  
$provider = new EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider();
// In this example, the endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. Specify your actual endpoint. 
$endpoint = "https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com";
$bucket= "<yourBucketName>";

$config = array(
        "provider" => $provider,
        "endpoint" => $endpoint,
        "signatureVersion" => OssClient::OSS_SIGNATURE_VERSION_V4,
        "region"=> "cn-hangzhou"
    );
    $ossClient = new OssClient($config);

try {
    // Create a retention policy and set the retention period to 30 days. 
    $wormId = $ossClient->initiateBucketWorm($bucket, 30);

    // Query the ID of the retention policy. 
    print($wormId);
} catch (OssException $e) {
    printf(__FUNCTION__ . ": FAILED\n");
    printf($e->getMessage() . "\n");
    return;
}

print(__FUNCTION__ . ": OK" . "\n");

Cancel an unlocked retention policy

The following sample code provides an example on how to cancel an unlocked retention policy:

<?php
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../autoload.php';
}
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';
}

use OSS\Credentials\EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider;
use OSS\OssClient;
use OSS\CoreOssException;

// Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured.  
$provider = new EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider();
// In this example, the endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. Specify your actual endpoint. 
$endpoint = "https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com";
$bucket= "<yourBucketName>";

$config = array(
        "provider" => $provider,
        "endpoint" => $endpoint,
        "signatureVersion" => OssClient::OSS_SIGNATURE_VERSION_V4,
        "region"=> "cn-hangzhou"
    );
    $ossClient = new OssClient($config);

try {
    // Cancel the retention policy. 
    $ossClient->abortBucketWorm($bucket);
} catch (OssException $e) {
    printf(__FUNCTION__ . ": FAILED\n");
    printf($e->getMessage() . "\n");
    return;
}

print(__FUNCTION__ . ": OK" . "\n");

Lock a retention policy

The following sample code provides an example on how to lock a retention policy:

<?php
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../autoload.php';
}
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';
}

use OSS\Credentials\EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider;
use OSS\OssClient;
use OSS\CoreOssException;

// Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured.  
$provider = new EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider();
// In this example, the endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. Specify your actual endpoint. 
$endpoint = "https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com";
$bucket= "<yourBucketName>";

$config = array(
        "provider" => $provider,
        "endpoint" => $endpoint,
        "signatureVersion" => OssClient::OSS_SIGNATURE_VERSION_V4,
        "region"=> "cn-hangzhou"
    );
    $ossClient = new OssClient($config);

try {
    // Create a retention policy and set the retention period to 30 days. 
    $wormId = $ossClient->initiateBucketWorm($bucket, 30);

    // Lock the retention policy. 
    $ossClient->completeBucketWorm($bucket, $wormId);
} catch (OssException $e) {
    printf(__FUNCTION__ . ": FAILED\n");
    printf($e->getMessage() . "\n");
    return;
