Amazon S3 有 RRS,提供給那些掉了可以重新產生的資料使用 (像是縮圖);另外也有 IA,提供給不常存取的資料使用。現在推出的這個等級結合了兩者,使得價錢更低:「Amazon S3 Update: New Storage Class and General Availability of S3 Select」。
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.
