A SysOps administrator is configuring an Amazon S3 Lifecycle policy to optimize storage costs for application logs. The logs are initially stored in the S3 Standard storage class. The administrator wants to transition these logs to S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (Standard-IA) after days, and then to S3 Intelligent-Tiering after days.
Which of the following describes why this lifecycle configuration is invalid?
- Amazon S3 Lifecycle rules do not support transitioning objects from S3 Standard-IA to S3 Intelligent-Tiering.Answer
- BAmazon S3 Lifecycle rules require objects to remain in S3 Standard-IA for at least days before they can transition to any other storage class.
- CAmazon S3 Lifecycle rules do not allow objects to transition from S3 Standard to S3 Standard-IA until they have been stored for at least days.
- DAmazon S3 Lifecycle rules can only transition objects between different storage classes a maximum of one time during the object's lifespan.
Answer
Amazon S3 Lifecycle rules do not support transitioning objects from S3 Standard-IA to S3 Intelligent-Tiering.
Amazon S3 Lifecycle policies support transitions from warmer storage classes to colder storage classes. In the S3 Lifecycle transition matrix, you can transition from S3 Standard to S3 Standard-IA or S3 Intelligent-Tiering. However, you cannot transition from S3 Standard-IA to S3 Intelligent-Tiering, as S3 Intelligent-Tiering is not considered a colder storage class than S3 Standard-IA.
