S3 Quiz
Your company needs to have a data store in AWS to store data documents. These documents are not accessed that frequently. But when the document does get requested, it needs to be available within 20 minutes. Which of the following would be an ideal cost effective data store?
A. S3 Infrequent Access
B. Glacier – Bulk retrieval
C. Glacier – Standard Retrieval
D. S3 Standard Storage
A. S3 Infrequent Access
The AWS Documentation mentions the following
Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) is an Amazon S3 storage class for data that is accessed less frequently but requires rapid access when needed. S3 Standard-IA offers the high durability, high throughput, and low latency of S3 Standard, with a low per GB storage price and per GB retrieval fee. This combination of low cost and high performance make S3 Standard-IA ideal for long-term storage, backups, and as a data store for disaster recovery.
Options B and C are incorrect since the data retrieval time is more than 20 minutes and does not meet the requirements of the question
Option D is incorrect since this would not be a cost-effective option
