What is Amazon S3 Storage Classes? | Intellipaat

Let’s take a look at the various storage classes using a school as an example:

Amazon S3 Standard for frequent data access: Suitable for use cases where latency should be kept to a minimum. For example, frequently accessed data will be student attendance data, which should be retrieved quickly.

Amazon S3 Standard for infrequent data access: Can be used for data that is long-lived and accessed infrequently. Students’ academic records, for example, will not be required on a daily basis, but if necessary, their information should be retrieved quickly.

Amazon Glacier: Can be used when data must be archived but high performance is not required. Ex-students’ old records (such as admission fees) are not required on a daily basis, and even if they are, low latency is not required.

Upskilling and current in the workplace require AWS Course.

One Zone-IA Storage Class: It can be used when data is accessed infrequently and stored in a single region. For example, a student’s report card is not used on a daily basis and is stored in a single availability region (i.e., school).

Amazon S3 Standard Reduced Redundancy Storage: Suitable for use cases where the data is non-critical and can be replicated quickly. Books in the library, for example, are non-critical data that can be replaced if they are lost.
