AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
An application needs to store large amounts of unstructured data that is accessed infrequently but must be immediately available when requested. The storage solution should be highly durable, scalable, and the most cost-effective option. Which storage service should be used?
Amazon S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval is designed for infrequently accessed data that requires immediate access. It offers lower storage costs compared to Amazon S3 Standard while providing millisecond retrieval times, making it highly cost-effective for this use case. Amazon EFS is optimized for low-latency access to shared file systems and is more suitable for frequently accessed data. Amazon S3 Standard is intended for data that is accessed frequently, resulting in higher storage costs for infrequently accessed data. Amazon EBS Provisioned IOPS SSD volumes are block storage devices for EC2 instances requiring high performance and are not cost-effective for storing large amounts of unstructured data that is accessed infrequently.
