ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question
Your company must archive 500 TB of research data for at least 10 years to satisfy regulatory requirements. The data is almost never accessed, yet auditors occasionally demand a small subset and expect it to be available within 15 minutes. Management wants the lowest possible storage cost and prefers a fully managed AWS solution with no tape infrastructure to maintain. Which Amazon S3 storage option best meets these needs?
Store the objects in Amazon S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval and use Expedited retrievals when auditors request data.
Place the data in Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive to minimize storage cost.
Keep the data in Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access to guarantee rapid access without retrieval fees.
Enable the Glacier Instant Retrieval tier in S3 Intelligent-Tiering for immediate access to archived objects.
Amazon S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval delivers the lowest $/GB cost of the Glacier classes other than Deep Archive, and it supports Expedited retrievals that return individual objects in 1-5 minutes-well under the 15-minute service-level goal. S3 Glacier Deep Archive is cheaper per-GB but only offers bulk and standard retrievals that take hours, so it fails the time requirement. S3 Standard-IA and S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval provide much faster access, but both cost significantly more per-GB than Glacier Flexible Retrieval. Therefore, storing the data directly in S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval and using Expedited retrievals when audits occur is the most cost-effective solution that satisfies the retrieval-time constraint without requiring on-premises tape management.
