A
  • Amazon S3 Standard - General Purpose
  • Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (IA)
  • Amazon S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access
  • Amazon S3 Reduced Redundancy Storage (deprecated) • Amazon S3 Intelligent Tiering (new!)
  • Amazon Glacier
18
Q

What is S3 Standard – Infrequent Access (IA) suitable for?

A

Suitable for data that is less frequently accessed, but requires rapid access when needed

19
Q

Use case of S3 (IA)

A

• Use Cases: As a data store for disaster recover y, backups…

20
Q

S3 One Zone - Infrequent Access (IA) Use Case

A

• Use Cases: Storing secondary backup copies of on-premise data, or storing data you can recreate

21
Q

What’s S3 Glacier meant for?

A

• Low cost object storage meant for archiving / backup

22
Q

How much storage can each archived item in glacier hold?

A

Up to 40TB

23
Q

Archives are stored in what?

A

Vaults

24
Q

What is S3 Lifecycle Rules?

A

• Set of rules to move data between different tiers, to save storage cost

25
Q

What is S3 Lifecycle Transition actions?

A

It defines when objects are transitioned to another storage class.

26
Q

What is S3 Lifecycle Expiration actions?

A

Helps to configure objects to expire after a certain time period. S3 deletes expired objects on our behalf

27
Q

this Can be used to delete incomplete multi-part uploads!?

A

S3 Lifecycle Rules

28
Q

Snowball Edge vs Snowball?

A

Snowball Edges add computational capability to the device
• 100TB capacity with either:
• Storage optimized – 24 vCPU
• Compute optimized – 52 vCPU & optional GPU
• Supports a custom EC2 AMI so you can perform processing on the go
• Supports custom Lambda functions

29
Q

What is AWS Storage Gateway?

A
  • Bridge between on-premise data and cloud data in S3

* Use cases: disaster recovery, backup & restore, tiered storage

30
Q

What are the 3 types of storage gateway?

A
  • File Gateway

* Volume Gateway • Tape Gateway

31
Q

Storage Gateway - File Gateway supports what?

A

Supports S3 standard, S3 IA, S3 One Zone IA

32
Q

Storage Gateway - Define Volume Gateway?

A
  • Block storage using iSCSI protocol backed by S3
  • Backed by EBS snapshots which can help restore on-premise volumes! • Cached volumes: low latency access to most recent data
  • Stored volumes: entire dataset is on premise, scheduled backups to S3
33
Q

Storage Gateway - Define Volume Gateway?

A
  • Some companies have backup processes using physical tapes (!)
  • With Tape Gateway, companies use the same processes but in the cloud • VirtualTape Library (VTL) backed by Amazon S3 and Glacier
  • Back up data using existing tape-based processes (and iSCSI interface)
  • Works with leading backup software vendors
34
Q

If exam mentioned on premis data, that means what?

A

Storage gateway

35
Q

Q

Volumes / Block Storage / iSCSI refers to what?

A

Volume gateway (backed by S3 with EBS snapshots)

37
Q

VTLTape solution / Backup with iSCSI

A

Tape Gateway (backed by S3 and Glacier)

38
Q

What is Athena?

A

Serverless service to perform analytics directly against S3 files

39
Q

Athena uses what query language?

A

Uses SQL language to query the files

40
