AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
An application generates log files that require immediate analysis upon creation but will be accessed infrequently after the first 30 days. After 90 days, these logs are accessed only for compliance reasons. Which Amazon S3 storage class should the logs initially be stored in to optimize costs based on the given access patterns?
Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) is the appropriate choice for data that is accessed less frequently, but requires rapid access when needed, making it suitable for the log files after they are initially analyzed. It provides a cost-saving over using Amazon S3 Standard and offers the required availability and performance. S3 One Zone-IA has lower storage costs compared to S3 Standard-IA, but due to its lack of redundancy across multiple Availability Zones, it is not recommended for newly created logs that might be critical. S3 Glacier and S3 Glacier Deep Archive have retrieval times that range from minutes to hours and are intended for long-term archiving, not suitable for logs that need to be immediately analyzed upon creation.
