AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
A company is storing large volumes of financial records that are frequently accessed for the first month after creation and are then rarely accessed. Compliance requirements mandate that these records must be preserved for seven years before they can be deleted. Which storage solution would be the most cost-effective for these requirements?
Store all financial records in Amazon S3 Standard to ensure availability and quick access at all times.
Utilize Amazon S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access for both immediate and long-term storage.
Use Amazon S3 Standard for immediate storage, and transition to Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive for long-term archival after one month.
Maintain the financial records on Amazon EFS for quick access and traditional file system interfaces.
Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive is designed for data that is accessed very infrequently but needs to be retained for a long-term period. It is the most cost-effective solution for archival storage, meeting compliance requirements and ensuring that records are preserved with minimum cost. Other options like Amazon S3 Standard or Amazon S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access are not optimized for long-term archival storage and would result in higher costs due to higher storage prices and the lack of infrequent access.
