Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C02 topic 1 question 319 discussion

The answer is A. There is "two opt-in archive access tiers" in the page. S3 Intelligent-Tiering works by storing objects in four access tiers: two low latency access tiers optimized for frequent and infrequent access, and two opt-in archive access tiers designed for asynchronous access that are optimized for rare access.

A) https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2018/11/s3-intelligent-tiering/ ✑ Retain all the images => “S3 Intelligent-Tiering is designed for 99.9% availability and 99.999999999% durability” ✑ Incur no cost for retrieval => "There are no retrieval fees in S3 Intelligent-Tiering" ✑ Have minimal management overhead. => "without performance impact or operational overhead" ✑ Have the images available with no impact on retrieval time => "offers the same low latency and high throughput performance of S3 Standard"

A is the answer

C. Implement an S3 Lifecycle policy to move data to S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA). Implementing an S3 Lifecycle policy to move data to S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) can meet all of the requirements. S3 Standard-IA is a storage class that is designed for infrequently accessed data and provides a lower retrieval cost than S3 Standard. This will help to minimize costs for retrieval and management, and the images will still be available with no impact on retrieval time. This option also retains all the images. Option A. S3 Intelligent-Tiering is designed to automatically move data between storage classes based on access patterns, but it would not provide no cost for retrieval. Option B. S3 storage class analysis provides insights into how data is stored and accessed, but it would not directly help in achieving the requirements.

C. Implement an S3 Lifecycle policy to move data to S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA).

A.(O) There are no retrieval charges in S3 Intelligent-Tiering. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/intelligent-tiering.html The S3 Intelligent-Tiering storage class is designed to optimize storage costs by automatically moving data to the most cost-effective access tier when access patterns change, without operational overhead or impact on performance. For a small monthly object monitoring and automation charge, S3 Intelligent-Tiering monitors access patterns and automatically moves objects that have not been accessed to lower-cost access tiers. B.(X) have management overhead Amazon S3 analytics – Storage Class Analysis By using Amazon S3 analytics Storage Class Analysis you can analyze storage access patterns to help you decide when to transition the right data to the right storage class. C. D. (X) manual management and it has management overhead

A is correct.

Variable Period of time = A

s3-intelligent-tiering - it can move it to IA (infrequently access) and Archive (Glacier) So I think C is the answer not A.

answer is A. the url reveal the answer. https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2018/11/s3-intelligent-tiering/

A for sure

I'll go with A based on below text from the link: "S3 Intelligent-Tiering stores objects in two access tiers: one tier that is optimized for frequent access and another lower-cost tier that is optimized for infrequent access. For a small monthly monitoring and automation fee per object, S3 Intelligent-Tiering monitors access patterns and moves objects that have not been accessed for 30 consecutive days to the infrequent access tier. There are no retrieval fees in S3 Intelligent-Tiering. If an object in the infrequent access tier is accessed later, it is automatically moved back to the frequent access tier. No additional tiering fees apply when objects are moved between access tiers within the S3 Intelligent-Tiering storage class. " https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2018/11/s3-intelligent-tiering/

Im more into C

A seems to be an acceptable option, however, can someone know if Intelligent Tiering will have no impact on the retrieval time?

AAAAAAAAA

D for me, availability is not part of the requirement furthermore it still uses intelligent tiring and is not costly

This is A for sure
