AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 265

An organization is generating digital policy files which are required by the admins for verification. Once the files are verified they may not be required in the future unless there is some compliance issue. If the organization wants to save them in a cost effective way, which is the best possible solution?

Answer options

• A. AWS RRS
• B. AWS S3
• C. AWS RDS
• D. AWS Glacier

Correct answer: D

Explanation

AWS Glacier is the most budget-friendly storage service designed specifically for data archiving and long-term retention where immediate access is not required. AWS S3 and AWS RRS are higher-cost options intended for active data storage, whereas AWS RDS is a relational database service unsuitable for storing raw document files.
