AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
An application generates log files that are analyzed frequently during the first 30 days after creation. After that, access becomes infrequent, and after 90 days the logs are retained only to meet compliance requirements.
To minimize storage costs while still allowing millisecond retrieval when needed, to which Amazon S3 storage class should the logs be transitioned 30 days after creation by using an S3 Lifecycle rule?
Amazon S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access (S3 One Zone-IA)
After the first 30 days the logs no longer require frequent access, so moving them to Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) lowers the monthly storage charge while still providing the same low-latency retrieval as S3 Standard. S3 One Zone-IA is cheaper but lacks multi-AZ resilience for potentially critical compliance data. S3 Glacier and S3 Glacier Deep Archive offer even lower storage costs but have retrieval times ranging from minutes to hours, which does not meet the requirement for millisecond access when an audit occurs.
