A company needs to retain application logs files for a critical application for 10 years. The application team regularly accesses logs from the past month for troubleshooting, but logs older than 1 month are rarely accessed. The application generates more than 10 TB of logs per month.

Which storage option meets these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

You need S3 to be able to archive the logs after one month. Cannot do that with CloudWatch Logs.

I recall that S3 Lifecycle policies are generally more efficient for this kind of log management, but I can't remember if CloudWatch would complicate things.

I think using S3 with lifecycle policies makes sense since it automates the moving of logs to Glacier. That sounds familiar from our practice questions.
