S3 Glacier Deep Archive
Explanation
S3 Glacier Deep Archive is the lowest-cost Amazon S3 storage class. It supports long-term retention and digital preservation for data that might be accessed once or twice a year. It is designed for customers—particularly those in highly regulated industries, such as the financial services, healthcare, and public sectors. These customers often retain data sets for 7–10 years or longer to meet regulatory compliance requirements.
