Question

A data storage company has a service that gives users the ability to upload and download files. The files are stored as objects in Amazon S3 Standard storage. A SysOps administrator must use S3 Lifecycle policies to reduce the cost of the storage. The objects must be immediately retrievable for 1 year. Users access the objects frequently during the first 30 days after the objects are stored. Users rarely access the objects after 30 days. The SysOps administrator must implement a solution that maintains the current object availability. Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

Options

  • AMove the objects to S3 Glacier Deep Archive after 30 days.
  • BMove the objects to S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access (S3 One Zone-IA) after 30 days.
  • CMove the objects to S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) after 30 days.
  • DMove the objects to S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) immediately.

Explanation

S3 Standard-IA is designed for data that is accessed less frequently but requires rapid access when needed, making it suitable for objects that are accessed frequently in the first 30 days and rarely afterward. Objects can remain in S3 Standard for the first 30 days (when they are frequently accessed) and then transition to S3 Standard-IA for the remaining 11 months of the year, maintaining availability while reducing storage costs.
