Amazon S3 Tables Intelligent-Tiering Storage Class

Amazon S3 Tables now offer the Intelligent-Tiering storage class, optimizing costs based on access patterns without performance impact or operational overhead. Intelligent-Tiering automatically transitions data across three low-latency access tiers, reducing storage costs by up to 80%. Automated maintenance operations keep tables optimized while saving on storage costs.

Data not accessed for 30 consecutive days transitions to the Infrequent Access tier (40% lower cost). After 90 days without access, it transitions to the Archive Instant Access tier (68% lower cost). You can select Intelligent-Tiering when creating a table or set it as the default for all new tables in a table bucket.

What to do

  • Select Intelligent-Tiering as the storage class when creating a new table.
  • Set Intelligent-Tiering as the default storage class for all new tables in a table bucket.

The Intelligent-Tiering storage class is available in all AWS Regions where S3 Tables are available. For pricing details, visit the Amazon S3 pricing page. To learn more, visit the product page, documentation, and read the AWS News Blog.
