Putting data directly into S3-IA

Question

I'm having this SAA-C02 question.

It said that the correct response is S3-IA.However,it's impossible to put data directly into S3-IA.In fact,Data must be present a S3 or S3-IT for at least 30 days.After that we can move it to S3-IA.

Can someone please clarify this issue?

Answer 1

30 day rule is for lifecycles ' automated transitions. From docs:

Before you transition objects from the S3 Standard or S3 Standard-IA storage classes to S3 Standard-IA or S3 One Zone-IA, you must store them at least 30 days in the S3 Standard storage class.

However, you can upload your objects manually to any class without needing to wait 30 days. For example using AWS CLI s3 cp you specify that using:

--storage-class STANDARD | REDUCED_REDUNDANCY | STANDARD_IA | ONEZONE_IA | INTELLIGENT_TIERING | GLACIER | DEEP_ARCHIVE | GLACIER_IR

Answer 2

Agreed, 30 day wait period is for lifecycle transitions and that applies to S3 Standard-IA and S3 One Zone-IA only.
