Asset Life Cycle management?

The press release says that AWS Asset Server caches it automatically in the cloud. How do we manage those cache life cycles? Do they just auto-delete after 48 hours? Do we need to manually clear assets? Are they deleted when the infrastructure group is stopped? Are they just held in RAM for a few minutes?

This question is getting sent to the docs project. :smiley:

It’s tricky to manage the lifecycle of individual files right now as they get a giant UUID instead of a name. We use that identifier in a database that’s hosted on the forwarder instance. Killing said instance deletes the database and the files in S3 are orphaned. I’d say delete the S3 bucket in that case and re-create it the next time.

As far as automatic deletion, I’ll need to ask about it. My inclination is “No”, but I’ll make sure.
