The Scaleway console lets you automate object lifecycle management by setting rules to:
- Delete your objects and their versions by setting an expiration date or duration
- Transition objects and their versions to a colder storage class
- Expire delete markers that have no non-current versions
- Abort incomplete [multipart uploads](/object-storage/how-to/abort-incomplete-mpu/)
