Eligible Files – Files that are 128 KiB or larger and that have not been accessed or modified for at least 30 days can be transitioned to the new storage class. Modifications to a file’s metadata that do not change the file will not delay a transition.
而 latency 也會增加:
Files that have not been read or written for 30 days will be transitioned to the Infrequent Access storage class with no further action on your part. Files in the Standard Access class can be accessed with latency measured in single-digit milliseconds; files in the Infrequent Access class have latency in the double-digits.
以 us-east-1 為例子來說,Standard 是 USD$0.3/GB-month,而 IA 只要 USD$0.045/GB-month,但抓取時會有 USD$0.01/GB 的傳輸費用,可以看出價錢低不少。
New S3 One Zone-IA Storage Class – This new storage class is 20% less expensive than the existing Standard-IA storage class. It is designed to be used to store data that does not need the extra level of protection provided by geographic redundancy.
$0.0125 / gigabyte / month (one and one-quarter US pennies), with a 30 day minimum storage duration for billing, and a $0.01 / gigabyte charge for retrieval (in addition to the usual data transfer and request charges).
拉資料的費用相當的貴啊一個月拉兩次就超過 Standard Storage 的價錢了,所以這個「Infrequent」的要求其實頗嚴苛的...
另外空間的部份以 128KB 為最小單位在計價的:
Further, for billing purposes, objects that are smaller than 128 kilobytes are charged for 128 kilobytes of storage.
