Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive

What do you like best?

Simple, Easy & Cost Effective Storage for Archive Data. I have nearly 12 TB of client data stored in Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive and it costs only around $12 / month, which is something really super.

This is the best storage system for archival data in my opinion.

What do you dislike?

Although a bucket policy would easily transition files to a different Tier, manual selection and transferring to Glacier Deep Archive is a chore especially when there are 1000's of files.

Also, if filtering on the console was more powerful, it would be really nice to select files to transition or for any other operation.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

A definitely must use for Archive data. Just upload and forget.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Have archival data of approx. 12 TB stored in Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive and we are being charged approx. $12 per month for 12 TB which simply amazing. I can rest assured of data being safe and secured with a trusted company like Amazon.

And, the ability to get that data back whenever it is required.
