Which S3 storage class should a solutions architect choose to meet these requirements?
S3 Glacier
S3 Standard
S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA)
S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access (S3 One Zone-IA)
Explanations:
S3 Glacier is designed for long-term archival storage and provides retrieval times of minutes to hours, which does not meet the requirement of having video files available within minutes when requested.
S3 Standard is optimized for frequently accessed data and incurs higher storage costs. Given the requirement for rarely accessed video files, this class would not be cost-effective.
S3 Standard-IA is designed for data that is accessed less frequently but requires rapid access when needed. It balances cost and retrieval time effectively, making it suitable for the company’s requirements.
S3 One Zone-IA offers lower storage costs but stores data in a single Availability Zone, making it less durable. While it is suitable for infrequently accessed data, it does not meet the durability needs for many petabytes of video files, which is a concern for this use case.
