The technology disclosed herein enables
enforcement of
Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) policies across tenants in an
object storage system using tags associated with the ILM policies. In a particular example, a method includes identifying ILM policies for an
object storage system having multiple tenants and associating respective tags with the ILM policies. The method further includes enabling a subset of the tags to be assigned to
data objects of a tenant of the multiple tenants and enforcing a portion of the ILM policies on the
data objects, wherein the portion of the ILM policies corresponds to tags of the subset assigned to the
data objects.
