- S3 Standard: This is suitable when we need durable storage for files with frequent access.
- Reduced Redundancy Storage: This is suitable when we have less critical data that is persistent in nature.
- Infrequent Access (IA): This is suitable when you have durable data with nonfrequent access. You can opt for Glacier. However, in Glacier you have a very long retrieval time. So, S3 IA becomes a...
