A company stores log files in Amazon S3. The logs are frequently accessed for the first 30 days. After 30 days, they are rarely accessed but must be kept immediately available for 90 days. After 90 days, they must be retained for compliance for 5 years and are rarely accessed. Which TWO lifecycle rules provide the MOST cost-effective solution? (Select TWO.)

How to approach this question
Map the timeframes to the appropriate S3 storage classes.
Full Answer
Transition to S3 Standard-IA after 30 days. Transition to S3 Glacier Deep Archive after 90 days.
S3 Standard-IA provides immediate access at a lower cost for the 30-90 day period. S3 Glacier Deep Archive provides the lowest cost storage for the 5-year compliance retention period.
Common mistakes
Choosing Glacier for the 30-90 day period, which breaks the 'immediately available' requirement.
