Which of the following storage options provides the option of Lifecycle policies that can be used to move objects to archive storage.
A
Amazon S3
B
Amazon Glacier
C
Amazon Storage Gateway
D
Amazon EBS
Explanation:
Amazon S3 provides Lifecycle configuration that enables lifecycle management of objects in a bucket. This includes:
Transition actions: Define when objects transition to another storage class (e.g., transition to STANDARD_IA after 30 days, or archive to GLACIER storage class after one year)
Expiration actions: Specify when objects expire and Amazon S3 deletes them automatically
Amazon S3 is the only option among those listed that supports Lifecycle policies for moving objects to archive storage like Glacier. Amazon Glacier itself is a storage class, not a service with lifecycle policies. Amazon Storage Gateway and Amazon EBS do not provide this lifecycle management functionality.
