> you can also get an export of all objects in a bucket using S3 Inventory and run the output through AWS Batch in order to delete those objects

"S3 Batch Operations" sends S3 requests based on a csv file, which can but does not have to be from S3 Inventory. But S3 Batch Operations supports only a subset of APIs and this does not include DeleteObject(s). [0]

An AWS Batch job could run a container which sends DeleteObjects requests but only when triggered by a job queue which seems redundant here.

If I can't use an expiration lifecycle policy because I need a selection of objects not matching a prefix or object tags, I would run something with `s5cmd rm` [1]. Alternatively roll your own golang which parses the CSV and sends many DeleteObjects requests in parallel goroutines.
