Hey everyone, hoping to crowdsource some insight on a weird Cloud One – Conformity hiccup we just hit.
We made a tiny, seemingly innocuous change to an S3 bucket lifecycle policy in a non-critical dev account. Just extended the transition to Glacier by a few days. No security settings, no IAM, just a cost-optimization tweak. Next Conformity scan, our overall compliance score for that account dropped by 8 points. The new "failed" check was `S3-011` ("S3 Bucket should have lifecycle configuration").
That's the confusing part. The bucket *has* a lifecycle policy—it always did, and we just updated it. The rule description says it checks for *any* lifecycle rule, not a specific configuration. So why did it fail?
Has anyone else seen compliance checks trigger on an *update* rather than an absence? I'm wondering if:
* The Cloud One scanner might have evaluated the bucket during the brief window the policy was being updated, seeing it as "missing" momentarily?
* There's a hidden criteria, like the rule now requiring a specific action (like expiration) that we don't have set?
* This is a reporting glitch specific to programmatic updates via Terraform (which we used).
We're big on automating compliance, but these false-positive dips can really mess with our dashboards and alerting. Any similar experiences or debugging tips would be super helpful.
