Question

A developer is building an application that stores objects in an Amazon S3 bucket. The bucket does not have versioning enabled. The objects are accessed rarely after 1 week.

Explanation

Transitioning objects to S3 Standard-Infrequent Access after 7 days moves rarely accessed data to a lower-cost tier while still providing millisecond access when needed. Since versioning isn’t enabled, expiration or delete-marker rules aren’t applicable, and Glacier tiers would introduce retrieval delays.
