Resource Expiration
Resoto calculates the expiration time of a resource based on its expiration tag and stores the result as the value of the metadata.expires property.
Cleanup can be performed manually in Resoto Shell, automatically using the cleanup_expired plugin, or via a scheduled job.
Supported Expiration Tags​
A resource's expiration time can be defined either with an ISO 8601 timestamp or time delta:
| Tag Name | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
resoto:expires | ISO 8601 timestamp | 2022-09-21T10:40:11+00:00 |
resoto:expiration or expiration | Time delta from resource creation time | 24h |
Time deltas can be specified in the following units:
| Unit | Abbreviations |
|---|---|
years | year, yr, y |
months | month, mo, M |
days | day, d |
weeks | week, w |
hours | hour, h |
minutes | minute, min, m |
seconds | second, s |
Spaces within time delta strings are optional (e.g., 7d4h and 7 days 4 hours are equivalent).
