AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question

Utilizing a physical data transport solution to transfer the archival content into the long-term storage class designed for infrequent access with the lowest storage cost is the most economical choice. The physical data transport option eliminates high network transfer costs and meets the deadline, while the chosen storage class offers a low-cost solution for archival data that is not accessed regularly. Conversely, initiating a high-speed dedicated network connection would not be cost-effective due to substantial setup and monthly fees, unnecessary for a single bulk transfer. Uploading through the internet to a standard storage class would result in higher costs compared to using the more economical long-term storage class directly. A network file transfer service is generally more suitable for active data synchronization and would incur higher costs due to the ongoing transfer and higher storage pricing in comparison to using a physical transfer device and the most cost-effective storage class for archiving.
