AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
An e-commerce company needs to store transactional logs for compliance purposes. These logs must be retained for 7 years but are rarely accessed after their initial creation. Retrieval time of up to 12 hours is acceptable if they need to be accessed for audits. The company wants a highly durable and cost-effective storage solution. Which AWS storage class should the company select to meet these requirements?
Use Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access storage class.
Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive storage class is designed for long-term data retention of data that is accessed very infrequently. It offers the lowest storage cost compared to other S3 storage classes and is ideal for data that can tolerate retrieval times within 12 hours. It provides high durability of 99.999999999% (11 nines), ensuring that the data remains intact over the long term. Other options such as Amazon S3 Standard and S3 Standard-Infrequent Access have higher storage costs and are better suited for data that requires faster access. Amazon EFS is a file storage service for use with Amazon EC2, and is not optimized for cost-effective long-term storage of infrequently accessed data.
