Question

A company recently migrated its application to AWS. The application runs on Amazon EC2 Linux instances in an Auto Scaling group across multiple Availability Zones. The application stores data in an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file system that uses EFS Standard-Infrequent Access storage. The application indexes the company's files. The index is stored in an Amazon RDS database. The company needs to optimize storage costs with some application and services changes. Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. The correct answer is A. Option A: Create an Amazon S3 bucket that uses an Intelligent-Tiering lifecycle policy. Copy all files to the S3 bucket. Update the application to use Amazon S3 API to store and retrieve files. Amazon S3 provides durable, scalable object storage that is fully managed.
