1
Confirm availability during review
State Object Lock, retention mode and Veeam requirements in the provisioning request so the configuration can be confirmed.
S3 Object Lock and Immutability Planning
Object Lock and immutability features are configuration-dependent and should be confirmed during provisioning. Where available and correctly configured, retention controls can reduce the risk of deletion or overwrite.
📋 Prerequisites
- Retention durations and compliance scope decided before provisioning
- A restore-test plan with independent backups
Step-by-Step Instructions
2
Validate with a restore test
Test locked-object retention and restores before production cutover, alongside least-privilege access and credential isolation.
3
Keep independent backups
No storage control provides absolute protection from ransomware or data loss. Maintain independent verified backups and monitoring.
📌 Important Notes
- 3x data replication provides redundancy and resilience; it is not a substitute for tested backups.
