    AWS SAP-C02 · Question 59 · Domain 3.5: Cost Optimization

    A company has a large Amazon S3 bucket storing millions of images. They want to optimize storage costs. Some images are accessed millions of times a day, while others are never accessed after the first week. The access patterns are highly unpredictable and change daily. What is the MOST cost-effective storage strategy?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Create a Lifecycle policy to move objects to S3 Standard-IA after 30 days.

    B.

    Transition all objects to the S3 Intelligent-Tiering storage class.

    C.

    Use S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval for all images.

    D.

    Write a Lambda function to analyze S3 access logs and move objects manually.

    How to approach this question

    Match 'unpredictable access patterns' with S3 Intelligent-Tiering.

    Full Answer

    B.Transition all objects to the S3 Intelligent-Tiering storage class.✓ Correct
    Transition all objects to the S3 Intelligent-Tiering storage class.
    Amazon S3 Intelligent-Tiering is designed to optimize costs by automatically moving data to the most cost-effective access tier based on access frequency, without performance impact or retrieval fees. It is ideal for unpredictable workloads.

    Common mistakes

    Choosing Standard-IA, which penalizes you with retrieval fees if data becomes hot again.
