In this lab, you will design and implement a cost-optimized storage solution using Amazon S3 and Amazon EBS. You will learn how to select appropriate storage classes, manage S3 object lifecycles, and configure EBS snapshots for backup. This hands-on experience will help you understand the implications of storage choices on cost and performance, preparing you for real-world scenarios and the AWS certification exam.
Acme Corp needs a scalable storage solution to handle vast amounts of data with budget constraints. As the solutions architect, your task is to design a storage strategy utilizing Amazon S3 for cost-effective storage and Amazon EBS for application data that requires rapid access.
