AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
What is the most cost-effective Amazon S3 storage class for objects that you expect to access less than once per year and to retain for at least 12 months?
Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive offers the lowest per-GB storage price of any S3 class (about $0.00099 per GB-month in the US East [N. Virginia] Region). It is designed for long-term archives that are rarely accessed and can tolerate retrieval times of 12-48 hours, making it the most economical choice when you must keep data for at least a year. S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval (formerly "Glacier") is inexpensive but still roughly four times more costly than Deep Archive. S3 Intelligent-Tiering automatically moves data between tiers but carries monitoring fees, and S3 Standard is priced for frequently accessed data. Thus Deep Archive provides the greatest cost savings for this use case.
