Question #1345
An image hosting company stores its large assets in Amazon S3 Standard buckets. The company uses multipart uploads via S3 APIs and overwrites existing objects. For the first 45 days after upload, the objects are accessed frequently. After 45 days, access becomes infrequent but follows a predictable pattern. The company must optimize S3 storage costs while maintaining high availability and durability of the assets.
Which combination of actions should a solutions architect recommend to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)
Move assets to S3 Intelligent-Tiering after 45 days.
Configure an S3 Lifecycle policy to clean up incomplete multipart uploads.
Configure an S3 Lifecycle policy to clean up expired object delete markers.
Move assets to S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) after 45 days.
Move assets to S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access (S3 One Zone-IA) after 45 days.
Explanation
The company's objects are accessed frequently for the first 45 days, making S3 Standard appropriate. After 45 days, access becomes infrequent but predictable. S3 Standard-IA (D) offers lower storage costs than Standard while maintaining high availability and durability, aligning with the predictable infrequent access pattern. S3 Intelligent-Tiering (A) incurs monitoring fees and is better for unpredictable access. Cleaning up incomplete multipart uploads (B) is essential to avoid storage costs for unused parts. S3 One Zone-IA (E) reduces availability, violating requirements. Option (C) relates to versioning, which isn't mentioned in the scenario. Thus, D and B are optimal.
Answer
The correct answer is: DB
