AWS SAA-C03 · Question 59 · Domain 4.1: Storage Cost Optimization

A company generates daily log files that are stored in Amazon S3. The logs are frequently accessed for the first 30 days. From day 31 to 90, they are rarely accessed but must be available within milliseconds. After 90 days, they are retained for compliance for 7 years and rarely accessed. Which TWO lifecycle rules should be implemented to minimize costs? (Select TWO.)

Answer options:

A.

Transition objects to S3 Standard-IA after 30 days.

B.

Transition objects to S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval after 30 days.

C.

Transition objects to S3 Glacier Deep Archive after 90 days.

D.

Transition objects to S3 One Zone-IA after 90 days.

E.

Delete objects after 90 days.

How to approach this question

Map the timeframes to the appropriate S3 storage classes based on access speed and cost.

Full Answer

Transition objects to S3 Standard-IA after 30 days., Transition objects to S3 Glacier Deep Archive after 90 days.
For days 31-90, S3 Standard-IA is cost-effective while maintaining millisecond access. After 90 days, S3 Glacier Deep Archive is the most cost-effective storage class for long-term retention where retrieval time (hours) is acceptable.

Common mistakes

Moving data to Glacier too early when millisecond access is still required.
