Amazon S3 foundations: Best practices for Amazon S3
summary
Concrete operating advice for Amazon S3: pick storage classes by access pattern—S3 Standard‑IA saves up to 40% versus Standard and Intelligent‑Tiering now includes archive access tiers that can yield up to 95% savings for long lived objects. Use lifecycle rules for predictable transitions (30 day minimum for IA), enable versioning and remove expired delete markers, use replication time control for 15‑minute SLA needs, enable bucket default encryption and S3 Bucket Keys to cut KMS requests, and monitor with Storage Lens (29+ metrics) and CloudWatch request metrics.
