S3 Quiz
You have been given a business requirement to retain log files for your application for 10 years. You need to regularly retrieve the most recent logs for troubleshooting. Your logging system must be cost-effective, given the large volume of logs. What technique should you use to meet these requirements?
A. Store your log in Amazon CloudWatch Logs.
B. Store your logs in Amazon Glacier.
C. Store your logs in Amazon S3, and use Lifecycle Policies to archive to Amazon Glacier.
D. Store your logs on Amazon EBS, and use Amazon EBS Snapshots to archive them.
C. Store your logs in Amazon S3, and use Lifecycle Policies to archive to Amazon Glacier.
Option A is invalid, because it is not a cost-effective option.
Option B is invalid, because it will not serve the purpose of regularly retrieving the most recent logs for troubleshooting. You will need to pay more to retrieve the logs faster from this storage option.
Option D is invalid because it is neither an ideal nor cost-effective option.
