Amazon S3 offers several storage classes, each designed for different use cases based on access frequency, performance, and cost requirements. Here’s a breakdown of the main S3 storage classes and when to use each:
1.?? S3 Standard:
o?? Use Case: Frequently accessed data.
o?? Details: Offers high durability, availability, and performance. Ideal for cloud applications, dynamic websites, content distribution, and big data analytics.
2.?? S3 Intelligent-Tiering:
o?? Use Case: Data with unknown or changing access patterns.
o?? Details: Automatically moves data between two access tiers (frequent and infrequent) to optimize costs without performance impact.
3.?? S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA):
o?? Use Case: Infrequently accessed data that needs rapid access when required. ?such as backups or disaster recovery files1
o?? Details: Lower storage cost compared to S3 Standard, but with a retrieval fee.
4.?? S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access (S3 One Zone-IA):
o?? Use Case: Infrequently accessed data that does not require multiple Availability Zone resilience.
o?? Details: Lower cost than S3 Standard-IA, but data is stored in a single Availability Zone.

5.?? S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval:
o?? Use Case: Archive data that needs immediate access. like medical images or media assets

o?? Details: Low-cost storage with milliseconds retrieval time.
6.?? S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval (formerly S3 Glacier):
o?? Use Case: Long-term archive data that is rarely accessed.
o?? Details: Low-cost storage with retrieval times ranging from minutes to hours.
7.?? S3 Glacier Deep Archive:
o?? Use Case: Long-term archive and digital preservation.
o?? Details: Lowest cost storage option with retrieval times of up to 12 hours.
8.?? S3 Outposts:
o?? Use Case: Data residency requirements that can’t be met by existing AWS Regions.
o?? Details: Stores S3 data on-premises.
