Amazon S3 offers a range of storage classes that you can choose from based on the performance, data access, resiliency, and cost requirements of your workloads. S3 storage classes are purpose-built to provide the lowest cost storage for different access patterns. S3 storage classes are ideal for virtually any use case, including those with demanding performance needs, data lakes, residency requirements, unknown or changing access patterns, or archival storage.
The S3 storage classes include S3 Intelligent-Tiering for automatic cost savings for data with unknown or changing access patterns, S3 Standard for frequently accessed data, S3 Express One Zone for your most frequently accessed data, S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) and S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access (S3 One Zone-IA) for less frequently accessed data, S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval for archive data that needs immediate access, S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval (formerly S3 Glacier) for rarely accessed long-term data that does not require immediate access, and Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive (S3 Glacier Deep Archive) for long-term archive and digital preservation with retrieval in hours at the lowest cost storage in the cloud.
You can configure S3 storage classes at the object level, and a single general purpose bucket can contain objects stored across all storage classes except S3 Express One Zone. Amazon S3 also offers capabilities to manage your data throughout its lifecycle. Once an S3 Lifecycle policy is set, your data will automatically transfer to a different storage class without any changes to your application. S3 directory buckets only allow objects stored in the S3 Express One Zone storage class, which provides faster data processing within a single Availability Zone, and do not support S3 Lifecycle policies.
Amazon S3 Intelligent-Tiering (S3 Intelligent-Tiering) is the first cloud storage that automatically reduces your storage costs on a granular object level by automatically moving data to the most cost-effective access tier based on access frequency, without performance impact, retrieval fees, or operational overhead. S3 Intelligent-Tiering delivers milliseconds latency and high throughput performance for frequently, infrequently, and rarely accessed data in the Frequent, Infrequent, and Archive Instant Access tiers. You can use S3 Intelligent-Tiering as the default storage class for virtually any workload, especially data lakes, data analytics, new applications, and user-generated content.
Amazon S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval is an archive storage class that delivers the lowest-cost storage for long-lived data that is rarely accessed and requires retrieval in milliseconds. With S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval, you can save up to 68% on storage costs compared to using the S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) storage class, when your data is accessed once per quarter. S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval delivers the fastest access to archive storage, with the same throughput and milliseconds access as the S3 Standard and S3 Standard-IA storage classes. S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval is ideal for archive data that needs immediate access, such as medical images, news media assets, or user-generated content archives. You can upload objects directly to S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval, or use S3 Lifecycle policies to transfer data from the S3 storage classes.

Amazon S3 on Outposts delivers object storage to your on-premises AWS Outposts environment. Using the S3 APIs and features available in AWS Regions today, S3 on Outposts makes it easy to store and retrieve data on your Outpost, as well as secure the data, control access, tag, and report on it. S3 on Outposts provides a single Amazon S3 storage class, named 'OUTPOSTS', which uses the S3 APIs, and is designed to durably and redundantly store data across multiple devices and servers on your Outposts. The S3 Outposts storage class is ideal for workloads with local data residency requirements, and to satisfy demanding performance needs by keeping data close to on-premises applications.
* S3 Intelligent-Tiering charges a small monitoring and automation charge, and has a minimum eligible object size of 128KB for auto-tiering. Smaller objects may be stored, but will always be charged at the Frequent Access tier rates, and are not charged the monitoring and automation charge. See the Amazon S3 Pricing for more information. Standard retrievals in archive access tier and deep archive access tier are free. Using the S3 console, you can pay for expedited retrievals if you need faster access to your data from the archive access tiers. S3 Intelligent-Tiering first byte latency for frequent and infrequent access tier is milliseconds access time, and the archive access and deep archive access tiers first byte latency is minutes or hours.
*** S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval and S3 Glacier Deep Archive require 40 KB of additional metadata for each archived object. This includes 32 KB of metadata charged at the S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval rate required to identify and retrieve your data. And, an additional 8 KB data charged at the S3 Standard rate which is required to maintain the user-defined name and metadata for objects archived to S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval.
When you hibernate an instance, Amazon EC2 signals the operating system to perform hibernation(suspend-to-disk). Hibernation saves the contents from the instance memory (RAM) to yourAmazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) root volume. Amazon EC2 persists the instance's EBS root volume and anyattached EBS data volumes. When your instance is started:
