Object Storage: Activate Versioning via Terraform

[alexrothgit]

Problem description

Currently it is not possible to activate Versioning for an Object Storage bucket via Terraform.
As I understand, it is necessary to use the command line tool s5cmd (which is working fine) but as it is outside of Terraform and therefore outside of the statefile, it is not perfekt for us.

Proposed solution

Possibility to enable versioning in the terraform module for object storage or an extra module.

Example:

resource "stackit_objectstorage_bucket" "example" {
  project_id = "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
  name       = "example-bucket"
  versioning_enabled = true 
  version_retention_days = 15
}

Additional information

Additionally it would be good, to set the retention of the versions preferably (at least) in days and/or a max. number of versions. That would help to control the storage costs.

Hi,
currently the api of object storage doesn't support any interaction with the versioning setting.

We are limited to the API of the service teams, so we can't provide this feature at the moment.
I'll forward this request to the team.

Best regards,
Marcel from the STACKIT Developer Tools Team

HI,
thank you for the request.
At the moment, we separate between "Object Storage" and "Object Storage Management API". Therefore, the current TF-implementation only covers the second part, but not the first one.
We already had internal discussions about chaging this in the future (for more than "only" the versioning, but even more s3-functions), but there is not a fixed timeline yet. But we will add your request as a "+1" for this feature-request, so thank you for reaching out :)
Kind regards,
Markus from the STACKIT Object Storage Team
