[13pt] Look into S3 storage types (infrequent versus active versus xxxx)

[RobHanna-NOAA]

Note: Now part of 1377 EPIC: FIM Sys Admin Tasks (and a few related FIM tasks)

There are a number of sub-types for S3 buckets based on usage. We use the highest, most accessible and costliest of s3 frequent access. We should eval putting some of our data (such as the last few BED Prod releases) in a different tier.

S3 Intelligent-Tiering automatically stores objects in three access tiers:

Frequent Access – Objects that are uploaded or transitioned to S3 Intelligent-Tiering are automatically stored in the Frequent Access tier.

Infrequent Access – S3 Intelligent-Tiering moves objects that have not been accessed in 30 consecutive days to the Infrequent Access tier.

Archive Instant Access – With S3 Intelligent-Tiering, any existing objects that have not been accessed for 90 consecutive days are automatically moved to the Archive Instant Access tier.

In addition to these three tiers, S3 Intelligent-Tiering offers two optional archive access tiers:

Archive Access – S3 Intelligent-Tiering provides you with the option to activate the Archive Access tier for data that can be accessed asynchronously. After activation, the Archive Access tier automatically archives objects that have not been accessed for a minimum of 90 consecutive days.

Deep Archive Access – S3 Intelligent-Tiering provides you with the option to activate the Deep Archive Access tier for data that can be accessed asynchronously. After activation, the Deep Archive Access tier automatically archives objects that have not been accessed for a minimum of 180 consecutive days.

With some of these types being half of the cost or more, it is worth doing some evaluation on.
