Question

A company needs to optimize storage costs for an Amazon S3 bucket. The S3 bucket receives 10 million objects every day. The objects range in size from 2 KB to 5 MB. The objects need to be immediately accessible for the first 60 days. Users access objects infrequently from 61 to 180 days. The objects must be accessible within an hour from 181 to 365 days. The company can delete the objects after 365 days. Which solution will meet these requirements?

Explanation

An S3 Lifecycle policy provides native, automatic tiering by object age without operational overhead, which is critical at 10 million new objects per day. Keeping objects in S3 Standard for the first 60 days satisfies immediate access. Transitioning to S3 Standard-IA from days 61-180 matches infrequent access with millisecond retrieval. Transitioning to S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval after 180 days meets the “accessible within an hour” requirement. Expiring objects after 365 days satisfies the deletion requirement.
