AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
Which Amazon S3 storage class offers the lowest cost for data that is accessed infrequently but must still be retrieved with millisecond latency when needed?
Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) is designed for long-lived data that is not accessed often yet still needs rapid (millisecond) retrieval. It delivers the same low-latency performance as S3 Standard, with lower per-GB storage pricing and a retrieval fee. Glacier Flexible Retrieval and Glacier Deep Archive are lower-cost archival classes but require minutes to hours for retrieval, while S3 Standard targets frequently accessed data and has higher storage cost than Standard-IA.
