AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
A company needs to store large datasets that are infrequently accessed but when accessed, require low-latency and high-throughput performance. Which AWS storage service and access pattern should be recommended to align with these requirements?
Use Amazon S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access for redundancy
Use Amazon S3 Standard for frequent data retrieval
Use Amazon EBS through General Purpose SSD (gp2) volumes
Use Amazon EFS with lifecycle management to Infrequent Access
Use Amazon S3 Glacier with bulk retrieval options
Use Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA)
Amazon S3 Glacier provides low-cost storage for data archival, but it is not optimized for low-latency, high-throughput performance, making it unsuitable for the described use case. Amazon EBS provides low-latency, high-throughput performance but is designed for frequently accessed, block-level storage and would not be cost-effective for infrequently accessed data. Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) is the correct choice because it is designed for infrequently accessed data while still providing the necessary low-latency and high-throughput when accessed, making it the most cost-effective option that meets the described requirements.
