Question

A customer is looking for a storage archival solution for 1,000 TB of data. The customer requires that the solution be durable and data be available within a few hours of requesting it, but not exceeding a day. The solution should be as cost-effective as possible. To meet security compliance policies, data must be encrypted at rest. The customer expects they will need to fetch the data two times in a year. Which storage solution should a Solutions Architect recommend to meet these requirements

Answer 1

Incomplete question. The options;

A. Copy data to Amazon S3 buckets by using server-side encryption. Move data to Amazon S3 to reduce redundancy storage (RRS).

B. Copy data to encrypted Amazon EBS volumes, then store data into Amazon S3.

C. Copy each object into a separate Amazon Glacier vault and let Amazon Glacier take care of encryption.

D. Copy data to Amazon S3 with server-side encryption. Configure lifecycle management policies to move data to Amazon Glacier after 0 days.

Answer:

D. Copy data to Amazon S3 with server-side encryption. Configure lifecycle management policies to move data to Amazon Glacier after 0 days.

Explanation:

Note, the Amazon S3 (Amazon Simple Storage Service) is a cloud storage service that is both durable, cost-effective, and secure. Since the customer wants a storage space of up to 1,000 TB (terra bytes), this makes the Amazon S3 solution the most recommended solution.

The process begins by copying the data to Amazon S3 with server-side encryption. Next, set-up the configuration of lifecycle management policies to move data to Amazon Glacier after 0 days.
