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?
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.
Keep the files in Amazon S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access throughout the entire lifecycle to benefit from lower storage costs.
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 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.
