Question

An IT department uses Amazon S3 to store sensitive images. After more than 1 year, the company moves the images into archival storage. The company rarely accesses the images, but the company wants a storage solution that maximizes resiliency. The IT department needs access to the images that have been moved to archival storage within 24 hours. Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. The correct answer is A. Option A: Use S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) to store the images. Use S3 Glacier Deep Archive with standard retrieval to store and retrieve archived images. S3 Glacier Deep Archive is the lowest-cost storage for long-term archival with retrieval in hours. Amazon S3 Glacier offers low-cost archival storage for infrequently accessed data. S3 Standard-IA reduces cost for infrequently accessed data that still needs high availability. This option delivers the requirement at the lowest cost.
