S3 Quiz
A company is to run a service on AWS to provide offsite backups for images on laptops and phones.
The solution must support millions of customers with thousands of images per customer. Though the images will be retrieved infrequently, they must be available for retrieval immediately.
Which is the MOST cost efficient storage option that meets 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 need not be frequently accessed. It is must more cost effective than Amazon S3 Standard (Option D). And if you choose Amazon Glacier with expedited retrievals, then you defeat the whole purpose of the requirement, because you would have an increased cost with this option.
