AWS Cloud Practitioner CLF-C02 Practice Question
A digital media company needs to store high-resolution video files. Upon upload, these files are accessed heavily for the first two weeks. After this period, access drops significantly, but sporadic access may still occur for up to 6 months. Following this, the files will likely not be accessed but need to be retained for legal reasons. What is the most cost-effective AWS storage strategy that aligns with the described access patterns?
Keep the files in Amazon S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access throughout the entire lifecycle to benefit from lower storage costs.
Start with Amazon S3 Standard and then transition to S3 Standard-Infrequent Access using a lifecycle policy after two weeks. After 6 months, transition to S3 Glacier or S3 Glacier Deep Archive.
Use Amazon S3 Intelligent-Tiering to automatically move the data between tiers based on access patterns from the start and after 6 months.
Start with Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) for the first two weeks and then move to EFS Infrequent Access. Archive the files to S3 Glacier Deep Archive after six months.
