But

get-bucket-lifecycle is working this means my aws is configured :

[root@ADM-PROD-OMNI noc-scripts]# aws s3api get-bucket-lifecycle --bucket 4sm-wrapup
RULES    clear multipart failed files           Enabled

**OR**

[root@ADM-PROD-OMNI noc-scripts]# aws s3api get-bucket-lifecycle --bucket noc-try

A client error (NoSuchLifecycleConfiguration) occurred when calling the GetBucketLifecycle operation: The lifecycle configuration does not exist

Also tried :

 [root@ADM-PROD-OMNI noc-scripts]# aws s3api put-bucket-lifecycle --bucket noc-try --lifecycle-configuration  lifecycle.json

    Error parsing parameter '--lifecycle-configuration': Expected: '=', received: '.' for input:
    lifecycle.json
             ^

Please let me know what is wrong here ?

In your first example it is pretty obvious that the method "put-bucket-lifecycle-configuration" does not exist, and you need to be using "put-bucket-lifecycle" instead, which you said you also tried and received a different error.

Different errors are good!

The new error suggests improper syntax when calling your .json configuration file, and/or improper structured JSON.

Here is documentation on the "put-bucket-lifecycle": put-bucket-lifecycle

Here is an example of calling a .json config file:

aws s3api put-bucket-lifecycle --bucket my-bucket --lifecycle-configuration file://lifecycle.json

Here is an example of JSON file:

{
  "Rules": [
    {
      "ID": "Move to Glacier after sixty days (objects in logs/2015/)",
      "Prefix": "logs/2015/",
      "Status": "Enabled",
      "Transition": {
        "Days": 60,
        "StorageClass": "GLACIER"
      }
    },
    {
      "Expiration": {
        "Date": "2016-01-01T00:00:00.000Z"
      },
      "ID": "Delete 2014 logs in 2016.",
      "Prefix": "logs/2014/",
      "Status": "Enabled"
    }
  ]
}

BELOW JSON FILE IS TESTED AND WORKS AS SHOWN IN THE SUBSEQUENT SCREENSHOTS:

{
    "Rules": [
        {
          "ID": "multipart-upload-rule",
          "Prefix": "noc-try",
          "Status": "Enabled",
          "AbortIncompleteMultipartUpload": { "DaysAfterInitiation": 3 }
        }
    ]
}

CLI COMMAND TO CREATE LIFECYCLE CONFIG USING ABOVE JSON FILE:

aws s3api put-bucket-lifecycle --bucket testbucket1478921 --lifecycle-configuration file://c:/tmp/test.json

aws: error: argument operation: put-bucket-lifecycle-configuration
