A company is looking to automate the transition of their data to more cost-effective storage solutions as the data ages. Which of the following would be the BEST solution for automatically transitioning objects from standard storage to a lower-cost storage option after 30 days, and then deleting objects that are older than 365 days?
Configuring Amazon EBS snapshots to occur every 30 days and writing a script to delete snapshots older than 365 days.
Creating lifecycle policies on Amazon S3 to transition objects to S3 Glacier after 30 days and permanently delete them after 365 days.
Using AWS Storage Gateway for a cached volume to archive data and relying on the automated clean-up process.
Manually moving objects to Amazon S3 Glacier after 30 days and setting calendar reminders to delete objects after 365 days.
Lifecycle policies in Amazon S3 allow for the automatic transition of objects between different storage classes and the configuration of object expiration. In this case, utilizing lifecycle policies enables the company to reduce storage costs by automatically moving objects to a lower-cost storage option after 30 days and deleting objects no longer needed after 365 days, thus ensuring cost optimization and adherence to data retention policies. The other options do not provide automatic transitioning or expiration based on object age which is a requirement as stated in the question.
