Understanding storage types

Active Storage (Direct Storage)

  • Like your recent emails, readily accessible
  • Ideal for day-to-day operations
  • AWS S3: designed for ease of access and management
    • Object storage service
    • Used for storing and retrieving any amount of data, anytime, from anywhere
    • Can get pricey

Archival Storage

  • Like old emails, accessed infrequently
  • Ideal for long-term data retention
  • AWS Glacier: cost-effective for long-term storage
    • Used for data archiving and long-term backup
    • Long-term, low-cost, and secure cloud storage service

Storage classes

S3 Standard:

  • Frequently accessed data
  • Low latency, high throughput
  • Content distribution and dynamic websites

S3 Intelligent-Tiering:

  • Moves data between frequent and infrequent access tiers
  • Optimizes storage costs

S3 Standard-IA (Infrequent Access):

  • Less frequently accessed data, but still needs rapid access
  • Backups and disaster recovery

S3 Glacier and S3 Glacier Deep Archive:

  • Long-term archival of rarely accessed data
