Amazon S3 Glacier

Amazon S3 Glacier is a low-cost archive storage service provided by AWS. It is designed for storing data that is rarely accessed but needs to be retained for long periods. This cloud-based solution allows organizations to securely store backups and historical records without the high costs associated with active storage solutions.

Choose this service when you need affordable, long-term data retention for infrequently accessed files. Since there is no free tier available, you must contact AWS for pricing details before committing. Be aware that the lack of a free tier means all usage incurs costs, so careful monitoring of your archive volume is essential to manage expenses effectively.
