What does the Amazon S3 Intelligent-Tiering storage class offer?
Payment flexibility by reserving storage capacity
Long-term retention of data by copying the data to an encrypted Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume
Automatic cost savings by moving objects between tiers based on access pattern changes
Secure, durable, and lowest cost storage for data archival
Explanations:
Amazon S3 Intelligent-Tiering does not offer payment flexibility by reserving storage capacity. Instead, it automatically manages costs by moving data between access tiers based on changing access patterns.
Intelligent-Tiering does not involve copying data to Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes. It is designed for data stored in S3 and automatically moves objects between frequent and infrequent access tiers based on usage patterns.
Amazon S3 Intelligent-Tiering offers automatic cost savings by monitoring access patterns and moving objects between frequent and infrequent access tiers without user intervention. This helps optimize storage costs based on how often data is accessed.
While S3 Intelligent-Tiering provides durable storage, it is not specifically designed for archival storage like S3 Glacier or S3 Glacier Deep Archive. It focuses on optimizing costs for data that is accessed less frequently but is not intended for long-term archival.
I surmise that the answer is:
Automatic cost savings by moving objects between tiers based on access pattern changes
