A Solutions Architect is designing a solution to store and archive corporate documents. The Architect has determined that Amazon Glacier is the right solution. Data has to be retrieved within 3-5 hrs as directed by the management.
Which feature in Amazon Glacier could be helpful to meet this requirement and ensure cost-effectiveness?

Answer options:

A.Vault Lock
B.Expedited retrieval
C.Bulk retrieval
D.Standard retrieval

Correct Answer – D
Option A - Vault Lock
This feature of Amazon Glacier allows you to lock your vault with various compliance controls designed to support such long-term records retention. Due to this reason, this is not the correct answer.
 Option B - Expedited retrieval
- It allows you to quickly access your data when occasional urgent requests are required for a subset of archives. The data is available within 1 - 5 minutes. Since our requirement is 3 - 5 hours, we do not need to use this option.
 Option C - Bulk retrieval
- They are the lowest-cost retrieval option, enabling you to retrieve large amounts of data within 5 - 12hours. Due to this reason, it is not the correct answer.
AWS Documentation mentions the following on Standard retrievals.
Standard retrievals are a low-cost way to access your data within just a few hours. For example, you can use Standard retrievals to restore backup data, retrieve archived media content for same-day editing or distribution, or pull and analyze logs to drive business decisions within hours.
