Vault Lock policy with AWS can be setup for Amazon Glacier mount paths to enforce data retention. Once the vault lock policy is setup, data aging will not be honored until the data meets the retention days set in the vault lock.
Note
Vault lock can be setup only on Amazon Glacier mount paths and not for S3 to Glacier.
Before You Begin

Considerations for Setting up Amazon Glacier with Vault Lock Policies
Make sure that the retention set in the Glacier Vault Lock policy is shorter than the retention time set for the data in the Storage Policy.
