How to update S3 bucket with expire date using AWS CLI

Question

I would like to update the S3 bucket with the new content(create a folder within a bucket). What is the --expires date format. I didn't find any examples using AWS CLI on google. Can someone please help me on this thing?

Something like this:

aws s3 sync $backup_home s3://backup/$app-backup/$app-$DATE --expires '$DATE'

Answer 1

aws s3 sync expects GMT ISO 8601 datetime string. similar to -expires option. Something like this will work:

aws s3 sync $backup_home s3://backup/$app-backup/$app-$DATE --expires '2016-06-14T00:00:00Z'
