Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 topic 1 question 534 discussion

A company wants to build a logging solution for its multiple AWS accounts. The company currently stores the logs from all accounts in a centralized account. The company has created an Amazon S3 bucket in the centralized account to store the VPC flow logs and AWS CloudTrail logs. All logs must be highly available for 30 days for frequent analysis, retained for an additional 60 days for backup purposes, and deleted 90 days after creation.

Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

  • A. Transition objects to the S3 Standard storage class 30 days after creation. Write an expiration action that directs Amazon S3 to delete objects after 90 days.
  • B. Transition objects to the S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) storage class 30 days after creation. Move all objects to the S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval storage class after 90 days. Write an expiration action that directs Amazon S3 to delete objects after 90 days.
  • C. Transition objects to the S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval storage class 30 days after creation. Write an expiration action that directs Amazon S3 to delete objects after 90 days.
  • D. Transition objects to the S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access (S3 One Zone-IA) storage class 30 days after creation. Move all objects to the S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval storage class after 90 days. Write an expiration action that directs Amazon S3 to delete objects after 90 days.

C seems the most sutiable. Is the lowest cost. After 30 days is backup only, doesn't specify frequent access. Therefor we must transition the items after 30 days to Glacier Flexible Retrieval. Also it says deletion after 90 days, so all answers specifying a transition after 90 days makes no sense.

The Glacier min storage duration is 90 days. All the options using Glacier are wrong. Only A is feasible.

S3 Standard is priced at $0.023 per GB for the first 50 TB stored per month S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval costs $0.0036 per GB stored per month If you move or delete data in Glacier within 90-days since their creation, you will pay an additional charge, that is called an early deletion fee. In US East you will pay $0.004/GB if you have deleted 1 GB in 2 months, $0.008/GB if you have deleted 1 GB in 1 month and $0.012 if you have deleted 1 GB within 3 months. Even with the early deletion fee, it appears to me that answer 'A' would still be cheaper.

But the objects are deleted after 90 days so how is this charge applicable?

But why 'transition to the S3 Standard storage class', aren't they there already by default?

A: Standard storage is default so this is wrong. B: Looks wrong because it moves object to S3GFR after 90 days when they could just be deleted so extra cost D: Same problem as B

Selected Answer: C
Not A: Objects are created in S3 Standard, so it doesn't make sense to 'transition' them there "30 days after creation" Not B or C: No need to "move all objects to the S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval storage class after 90 days" because we want to delete, not archive, them. Even if we would delete them right after moving, we would pay 90 days minimum storage duration. Plus, we are using "Infrequent Access" classes here, but we have no access at all.

requirement : frequently analysis search cost : S3 STD 0.0004 vs IA 0.001 so IA is more expensive than STD(A)

Selected Answer: C
Things to note are: 30 days frequent access and 90 days after creation, so you only need to do 2 things, not 3. Objects in S3 will be stored by default for 30 days before you can move it to somewhere else, so C is the answer. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/lifecycle-transition-general-considerations.html

C is the correct one . As after 30 days it doesn't says about access / retrieval , only backup so move items after 30 days to Glacier Flexible Retrieval. And after it says deletion , so expiration action will ensure that the objects are deleted after 90 days, even if they are not accessed

I think - it is B The first 30 days, the logs need to be highly available for frequent analysis. The S3 Standard storage class is the most expensive storage class, but it also provides the highest availability. After 30 days, the logs still need to be retained for backup purposes, but they do not need to be accessed frequently. The S3 Standard-IA storage class is a good option for this, as it is less expensive than the S3 Standard storage class. After 90 days, the logs can be moved to the S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval storage class. This is the most cost-effective storage class for long-term archiving. The expiration action will ensure that the objects are deleted after 90 days, even if they are not accessed

"After 90 days, the logs can be moved to the S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval storage class. This is the most cost-effective storage class for long-term archiving." yeah but we don't need long-term archiving, we want to delete them after 90 days.
