AWS - Cost Optimization

You manage an S3 bucket containing both frequently accessed files and rarely accessed archives. Which lifecycle configuration will best optimize costs while maintaining performance for frequently accessed data?

ACreate a lifecycle rule to transition objects to STANDARD_IA after 30 days and then to GLACIER after 365 days

BManually move frequently accessed files to STANDARD and archives to GLACIER using separate buckets

CEnable Intelligent-Tiering storage class to automatically move objects between frequent and infrequent access tiers

DSet all objects to transition to GLACIER immediately after upload to minimize costs

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand access patterns
Frequent and infrequent access mixed requires dynamic management.
Step 2: Evaluate options
Intelligent-Tiering automatically optimizes cost and performance without manual intervention.
Step 3: Compare alternatives
Manual moves are error-prone; immediate GLACIER transition hurts performance; fixed lifecycle rules less flexible.
Final Answer:
Enable Intelligent-Tiering storage class to automatically move objects between frequent and infrequent access tiers -> Option C
Quick Check:
Intelligent-Tiering adapts to access patterns [OK]

Quick Trick: Use Intelligent-Tiering for mixed access patterns [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Transitioning all data immediately to GLACIER
Relying solely on fixed lifecycle rules without automation
Using separate buckets unnecessarily
