What are S3 Storage Classes
Storage Classes: Amazon S3 offers several storage classes, each designed for different use cases and access patterns. The storage classes include: You can transition objects between tiers using lifecycle policies
Standard: Provides high durability, availability, and performance for frequently accessed data.
Standard-IA (Infrequent Access): Offers the same durability and availability as standard storage but at a lower cost for infrequently accessed data.
One Zone-IA: Similar to Standard-IA but stores data in a single availability zone, making it less expensive than Standard-IA.
Intelligent-Tiering: Automatically moves objects between frequent access and infrequent access tiers based on usage patterns, optimizing costs.
Glacier: Provides long-term archival storage for data that is rarely accessed. Offers low-cost storage with retrieval times ranging from minutes to hours.
Glacier Deep Archive: Offers the lowest-cost storage for data that is accessed less than once a year. Provides retrieval times ranging from hours to days.
