A media company is storing original, high-resolution images that are accessed frequently for the first month after upload but will likely be accessed infrequently afterward. The company wants to minimize storage costs without sacrificing immediate access to the images. Which storage class should they use?
The media company should use Amazon S3 Intelligent-Tiering, as this storage class is designed for data with unknown or changing access patterns. It automatically moves data to the most cost-effective access tier without performance impact or operational overhead. This will help them save on storage costs after the first month when the images are less likely to be accessed, while still providing immediate access when needed. The other options are not as cost-effective for this use case. Amazon S3 Standard is better for data that is frequently accessed throughout its lifetime. Amazon S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access offers lower storage costs but should be used for data that does not require multiple Availability Zone resilience. Amazon S3 Glacier is used for archival purposes and would not provide the immediate access required by the company during the first month.
