A company is using AWS for storing backup data that is infrequently accessed, but when required, it needs to be retrieved quickly. Which storage class should the company choose to minimize costs while meeting the required access needs?
The correct answer is Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA). This storage class is designed for data that is accessed less frequently but requires rapid, millisecond access when needed. It offers the same high durability and throughput of S3 Standard but with a lower storage price and a per-GB retrieval fee, making it ideal for the described backup scenario.
Amazon S3 Standard is incorrect because while it provides rapid access, its storage cost is higher, making it not the most cost-effective choice for infrequently accessed data.
Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive is incorrect because retrieval takes 12 to 48 hours, which does not meet the requirement for quick access.
Amazon S3 One Zone-IA is incorrect because it stores data in a single Availability Zone. This makes it less resilient and not recommended for vital backup data that cannot be easily recreated.
