SAA-C03 - Design Cost-Optimized Architectures - Section 4.1

Design cost-optimised object storage using S3 storage classes, lifecycle policies and S3 Intelligent-Tiering.

Compare S3 storage classes - Standard, Standard-IA, One Zone-IA, S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval, Glacier Flexible Retrieval, and Glacier Deep Archive - on cost, retrieval latency, and minimum storage duration. Configure S3 Lifecycle policies to automatically transition objects between classes or expire them, and use S3 Intelligent-Tiering for objects with unknown or changing access patterns to avoid manual tier management.
