4. Activate S3 Inteligent-Tier storage class?
2 comments

This is great for saving on S3 storage costs!

But in the context of data transfer costs, this would actually increase the costs, because there's a small surcharge for Intelligent Tiering - and the only relevant storage class for sidestepping data transfer costs is standard storage (because it's the only one with free download), so Intelligent Tiering won't provide value.

You've got to be careful of the automation charge with Intelligent Tiering.
