Configuring AWS CloudTrail to log S3 data events will enable logging all activities for objects in the S3 bucket1. Data events are object-level API operations such as GetObject, DeleteObject, and PutObject1. Configuring Amazon S3 to send object deletion events to an Amazon EventBridge event bus that publishes to an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic will enable sending email notifications every time there is an attempt to delete data in the S3 bucket2. EventBridge can route events from S3 to SNS, which can send emails to subscribers2. Configuring a new S3 bucket to store the logs with an S3 Lifecycle policy will enable keeping the logs for 5 years in a cost-effective way3. A lifecycle policy can transition the logs to a cheaper storage class such as Glacier or delete them after a specified period of time3.
