A developer is deploying a company's application to Amazon EC2 instances The application generates gigabytes of data files each day The files are rarely accessed but the files must be available to the application's users within minutes of a request during the first year of storage The company must retain the files for 7 years.

How can the developer implement the application to meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

Amazon S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval is an archive storage class that delivers the lowest-cost storage for long-lived data that is rarely accessed and requires retrieval in milliseconds. With S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval, you can save up to 68% on storage costs compared to using the S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) storage class, when your data is accessed once per quarter. https://aws.amazon.com/s3/storage-classes/glacier/instant-retrieval/

Understanding Storage Requirements:

Files are large and infrequently accessed, but need to be available within minutes when requested in the first year.

Long-term (7-year) retention is required.

Cost-effectiveness is a top priority.

Why S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval:

Matches the retrieval requirements (access within minutes).

More cost-effective than S3 Standard for infrequently accessed data.

Simpler to use than traditional Glacier where retrievals take hours.

Why S3 Glacier Deep Archive:

Most cost-effective S3 storage class for long term archival.

Meets the 7-year retention requirement.

S3 Lifecycle Policy:

Automate the transition from Glacier Instant Retrieval to Glacier Deep Archive after one year.

Optimize costs by matching storage classes to access patterns.
