Cost Optimization Guidelines for Amazon S3

Level: 300

Effective cost optimization across Amazon S3 storage classes can require different approaches depending on application latency and access patterns. Every S3 Storage Class supports a specific data access level at corresponding costs, for example, storing mission-critical production data in S3 Standard for frequent access, saving costs by storing infrequently accessed data in S3 Standard-IA, automating cost savings with Intelligent-Tiering, and archiving data at the lowest costs in the archival storage classes — S3 Glacier and S3 Glacier Deep Archive. In this tech talk, we review key cost optimization guidelines for storing data in Amazon S3. We also share design patterns for common Amazon S3 workloads to help you optimize for cost while meeting workload performance requirements.
