S3 Quiz
A company has an application that stores images and thumbnails for images on S3. While the thumbnail images need to be available for download immediately, the images and thumbnails themselves are not accessed that frequently.
Which is the most cost-efficient storage option to store images that meet these requirements?
A.
Amazon Glacier with Expedited Retrievals.
B.
Amazon S3 Standard Infrequent Access
C.
Amazon EFS
D.
Amazon S3 Standard
B. Amazon S3 Standard Infrequent Access
Amazon S3 Infrequent access is perfect if you want to store data that is not frequently accessed. It is more cost effective than Option D (Amazon S3 Standard). If you choose Amazon Glacier with Expedited Retrievals, you defeat the whole purpose of the requirement, because of its increased cost.
