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?

Options

  • ACreate an S3 bucket lifecycle policy to move Mm from S3 Standard to S3 Glacier 30 days from
  • BCreate an S3 bucket lifecycle policy to move tiles from S3 Standard to S3 One Zone-infrequent
  • CCreate an S3 bucket lifecycle policy to move files from S3 Standard-infrequent Access (S3
  • DCreate an S3 bucket Lifecycle policy to move files from S3 Standard to S3 Standard-Infrequent

Explanation

Immediate accessibility is always required as the files contain critical business data that is not easy to reproduce. If they do not explicitly mention that they are using Glacier Instant Retrieval, we should assume that Glacier -> takes more time to retrieve and may not meet the requirements.
