A Media firm is saving all its old videos in S3 Glacier Deep Archive. Due to the shortage of new video footage, the channel has decided to reuse all these old videos. Since these are old videos, the channel is not sure of its popularity & response from users. Channel Head wants to make sure that these huge size files do not shoot up their budget. For this, as an AWS consultant, you advise them to use the S3 intelligent storage class. The Operations Team is concerned about moving these files to the S3 Intelligent-Tiering storage class. Which of the following actions can be taken to move objects in Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive to S3 Intelligent-Tiering storage class?

Answer options:

A.Use Amazon S3 Console to copy these objects from S3 Glacier Deep Archive to required S3 Intelligent-Tiering storage class.
B.Use Amazon S3 Glacier Console to restore objects from S3 Glacier Deep Archive & then copy these objects to required S3 Intelligent-Tiering storage class.
C.Use Amazon S3 console to restore objects from S3 Glacier Deep Archive & then copy these objects to required S3 Intelligent-Tiering storage class.
D.Use Amazon S3 Glacier console to copy these objects to the required S3 Intelligent-Tiering storage class.

Correct Answer – C
To move objects from Glacier Deep Archive to different storage classes, first need to restore to original locations using Amazon S3 console & then use lifecycle policy to move objects to required S3 Intelligent-Tiering storage class.
Option A & D are incorrect as Objects in Glacier Deep Archive cannot be directly moved to another storage class. These need to be restored first & then copied to the desired storage class.
Option B is incorrect as the Amazon S3 Glacier console can be used to access the vaults and objects in them. But it cannot be used to restore the objects.
