How to enable bucket versioning

- you are an IAM user of the Organization, with a policy granting you the necessary permission sets
Once enabled, the versioning feature supports the retrieval of objects that are deleted or overwritten. It is a way to keep multiple variants of an object in the same bucket.
If the feature is enabled, you can list archived versions of an object or permanently delete an archived version.
