[All CLF-C02 Questions]

A company needs to store infrequently used data for data archives and long-term backups.

Which AWS service or storage class will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Amazon S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval is optimized for storing infrequently accessed data at a very low cost, making it suitable for data archiving and long-term backups. It provides flexible retrieval options for archived data. Other services like FSx for Lustre, EBS, and EFS are more suited for frequently accessed data and higher-performance use cases, not archival storage.

I thought EBS was better for backups, but maybe not for infrequent access?

I practiced a question similar to this, and I believe EFS is more for shared file systems, not really for archiving.
