Object Lifecycle Rules

A Beam agent reads the lifecycle rules configured on a Spaces bucket and checks objects against them on a schedule, looking for files that have passed their retention window. Where a customer-approved rule allows it, the agent removes or archives the expired objects and updates a log noting what was removed and from which bucket. Objects tied to an active project, missing metadata, or outside the documented retention window are left alone and routed to a human to confirm before anything is deleted, since object storage changes are not easily undone.

CDN Cache Purging

A Beam agent watches for a request to refresh content served through a Spaces CDN endpoint, whether that comes from a support ticket or a deployment notice. Where the connector and account permissions allow it, the agent purges the cache for the specified path or bucket and confirms the purge completed, then notes it in a ticket or deployment log. Requests to purge an entire domain, a production endpoint during peak traffic, or a path the agent cannot match to a known bucket get routed to a human before any purge runs.

Access Key Rotation

A Beam agent reads the age of access keys tied to a Spaces account and compares it against the rotation schedule a customer has approved. When a key is due, the agent generates a replacement, updates the record of which services use it, and notes the old key for removal on a set date. Keys tied to a production integration, a third-party app, or a system the agent cannot confirm still needs access are routed to a human, who decides whether to rotate, keep, or retire the key.
