Object Storage Service:Versioning

Last Updated:Oct 18, 2023

The versioning setting of a bucket applies to all objects in the bucket. If you enable versioning for a bucket, you can recover any previous version of an object in the bucket when you accidentally overwrite or delete the object.

A bucket can be in one of the following versioning states: disabled (default), enabled, or suspended. For more information about versioning, see Overview.

Usage notes

  • In this topic, the public endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. If you want to access OSS by using other Alibaba Cloud services in the same region as OSS, use an internal endpoint. For more information about the regions and endpoints supported by OSS, see Regions and endpoints.

  • 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 Initialization.

  • To configure versioning for a bucket, you must have the oss:PutBucketVersioning permission. To query the versioning state of a bucket, you must have the oss:GetBucketVersioning permission. For more information, see Attach a custom policy to a RAM user.

Configure versioning for a bucket

The following code provides an example on how to set the versioning state of a bucket to enabled or suspended:

using Aliyun.OSS;
// Specify the endpoint of the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. 
var endpoint = "yourEndpoint";
// 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. 
var accessKeyId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID");
var accessKeySecret = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET");
// Specify the name of the bucket. Example: examplebucket. 
var bucketName = "examplebucket";
// Initialize an OSSClient instance. 
var client = new OssClient(endpoint, accessKeyId, accessKeySecret);
try
{
    // Set the versioning status of the bucket to Enabled. 
    client.SetBucketVersioning(new SetBucketVersioningRequest(bucketName, VersioningStatus.Enabled));
    Console.WriteLine("Create bucket Version succeeded");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Create bucket Version failed. {0}", ex.Message);
}

Query the versioning status of a bucket

The following code provides an example on how to query the versioning state of a bucket:

using Aliyun.OSS;
using Aliyun.OSS.Common;
// Specify the endpoint of the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. 
var endpoint = "yourEndpoint";
// 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. 
var accessKeyId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID");
var accessKeySecret = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET");
// Specify the name of the bucket. Example: examplebucket. 
var bucketName = "examplebucket";
// Create an OSSClient instance. 
var client = new OssClient(endpoint, accessKeyId, accessKeySecret);
try
{
    // Query the versioning status of the bucket. 
    var result = client.GetBucketVersioning(bucketName);
    Console.WriteLine("Get bucket:{0} Version succeeded ", bucketName);

    Console.WriteLine("bucket version status: {0}", result.Status);
}
catch (OssException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Failed with error code: {0}; Error info: {1}. \nRequestID:{2}\tHostID:{3}",
        ex.ErrorCode, ex.Message, ex.RequestId, ex.HostId);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Failed with error info: {0}", ex.Message);
}

List the versions of all objects in a bucket

The following code provides an example on how to list the versions of all objects including delete markers in a specified bucket:

using Aliyun.OSS;
using Aliyun.OSS.Common;
// Specify the endpoint of the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. 
var endpoint = "yourEndpoint";
// 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. 
var accessKeyId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID");
var accessKeySecret = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET");
// Specify the name of the bucket. Example: examplebucket. 
var bucketName = "examplebucket";
// Create an OSSClient instance. 
var client = new OssClient(endpoint, accessKeyId, accessKeySecret);
try
{   
    ObjectVersionList result = null;
    var request = new ListObjectVersionsRequest(bucketName);
    do {        
        result = client.ListObjectVersions(request);
        Console.WriteLine("ListObjectVersions succeeded");
        // View the versions of all listed objects. 
        foreach (var objectversion in result.ObjectVersionSummaries)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("objectversion key: {0}; objectversion versionid: {1}", objectversion.Key, objectversion.VersionId);
        }
        // View the versions of all listed delete markers. 
        foreach (var deletemarker in result.DeleteMarkerSummaries)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("deletemarker key: {0}; deletemarker versionid: {1}", deletemarker.Key, deletemarker.VersionId);
        }
        request.KeyMarker = result.NextKeyMarker;
        request.NextVersionIdMarker = result.NextVersionIdMarker;
    } while (result.IsTruncated)
}
catch (OssException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Failed with error code: {0}; Error info: {1}. \nRequestID:{2}\tHostID:{3}",
        ex.ErrorCode, ex.Message, ex.RequestId, ex.HostId);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Failed with error info: {0}", ex.Message);
}
