AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 — Topic 1 Question 126

Question

A solutions architect needs to implement a solution to reduce a company's storage costs. All the company's data is in the Amazon S3 Standard storage class. The company must keep all data for at least 25 years. Data from the most recent 2 years must be highly available and immediately retrievable. Which solution will meet these requirements?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. The correct answer is B. Option B: Set up an S3 Lifecycle policy to transition objects to S3 Glacier Deep Archive after 2 years. 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 Lifecycle policies automatically transition or expire objects to control storage cost. By spanning multiple Availability Zones / adding redundancy, this option provides the high availability and resilience required.
