Study Notes

Cloud Storage Classes

  • Standard Storage: Best for frequently accessed or hot data, and data stored for brief periods.
  • Nearline Storage: Suitable for infrequently accessed data, such as data backups, long-term multimedia content, and data archiving, with an average access rate of once a month or less.
  • Coldline Storage: A low-cost option for storing infrequently accessed data, with an average access rate of once every 90 days.
  • Archive Storage: The lowest cost option for data archiving, online backup, and disaster recovery, ideal for data accessed less than once a year.
