AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
A company needs to store large datasets that are infrequently accessed but when accessed, require low-latency and high-throughput performance. Which AWS storage service and access pattern should be recommended to align with these requirements?
Use Amazon S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access for redundancy
Use Amazon EFS with lifecycle management to Infrequent Access
Use Amazon EBS through General Purpose SSD (gp2) volumes
Use Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA)
Use Amazon S3 Standard for frequent data retrieval
Amazon S3 Glacier provides low-cost storage for data archival, but it is not optimized for low-latency, high-throughput performance, making it unsuitable for the described use case. Amazon EBS provides low-latency, high-throughput performance but is designed for frequently accessed, block-level storage and would not be cost-effective for infrequently accessed data. Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) is the correct choice because it is designed for infrequently accessed data while still providing the necessary low-latency and high-throughput when accessed, making it the most cost-effective option that meets the described requirements.
