Scenario

ZOS provides the compliance-based retention feature. During the specified retention period for an object, no users, including the root user, can overwrite or permanently delete the protected version of the object.

Note:

Enabling the compliance-based retention feature for a bucket during creation automatically activates versioning, which cannot be suspended.
Once enabled, the compliance-based retention feature cannot be disabled.
Throughout the retention period, lifecycle management policies cannot permanently delete the objects but can move them to a different storage type.
However, in cases where data must be eliminated due to overdue payment, the objects will be deleted rather than retained.
