Hi, Adrian.
And welcome back.
Now into this video we are going to discuss about the storage class analysis in S3.
Now, at a high level overview, by using the S3 Analytics storage class analysis, you can analyze
the storage access patterns and then it will help you decide when to transition the data to the appropriate
storage class.
And based on the input from the storage class analysis, you can go ahead and tune our lifecycle policies.
For example, if you look into this specific storage class analysis screenshot, it gives you details
related to the overall usage pattern.
So if you look into this observation here, it states that based on your storage usage over the past
127 days, we observed that most of the objects older than 30 days are infrequently accessed, so only
certain amount of data is being retrieved Rest, all of them are infrequently accessed.
So based on this specific input, it allows you to transit in your data to the appropriate storage class,
which in turn will help you save the cost.
So let's do one thing.
Let's go ahead and quickly look into where do we see this specific option now within this sample S3
bucket that I have.
If we quickly explore the storage class analysis feature, it gives you the details related to how much
of your storage has been retrieved.
It shows you what percentage of the storage did I retrieve, how much of the standard storage is been
accessed on average, and you'll have a nice graph.
Now, again, since the storage files and the access patterns is quite low, since this is a test bucket,
you will not have a very beautiful graph.
But generally when you enable it as part of production, you will have quite helpful amount of data
as we have seen in the screenshot.
Now, before we conclude certain important pointers that you need to note, first one is that the storage
class analysis only provides recommendation for standard to standard infrequent access classes, so
it does not provide any recommendation related to the glacier.
And it also gives the option to create a CSV report which you can export to S3 and maybe you can go
ahead and visualize it using the business intelligence tools like Quick side.
So that's a very high level overview about the storage class analysis, and with this will conclude
today's video.
