Question

A company has an application that generates a large number of files, each approximately 5 MB in size. The files are stored in Amazon S3. Company policy requires the files to be stored for 4 years before they can be deleted. Immediate accessibility is always required as the files contain critical business data that is not easy to reproduce. The files are frequently accessed in the first 30 days of the object creation but are rarely accessed after the first 30 days. Which storage solution is MOST cost-effective?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. The correct answer is C. Option C: Create an S3 bucket lifecycle policy to move files from S3 Standard to S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) 30 days from object creation. Delete the files 4 years after object creation. S3 Standard-IA reduces cost for infrequently accessed data that still needs high availability. Amazon S3 provides durable, scalable object storage that is fully managed. This option delivers the requirement at the lowest cost.
