Amazon S3 Glacier Reviews

I use Amazon S3 Glacier to store large files and documents for long-term archival purposes.

I find Amazon S3 Glacier valuable for storing various documents like purchase orders, standard documents, and drawings. It complements my setup where the files are stored in S3, and the main application is hosted on EC2 containers.

In terms of improvement, I would like to see improved storage capacity and enhanced security features for better protection. The advantage of being on the cloud allows for scalability, so increasing storage as needed would be beneficial.

I have been using Amazon S3 Glacier for a year.

I would rate the stability of the solution as a nine out of ten.

I would rate the scalability of the solution as a perfect ten out of ten. We have approximately 50 users of the solution at our company.

The initial setup is straightforward and it takes less than an hour to deploy it. Deploying Amazon S3 Glacier is straightforward since it is pre-integrated within the cloud platform. There is no need for additional integration efforts, and it is user-friendly, and suitable for average maintenance.

It is more expensive compared to on-premises solutions. Amazon S3 Glacier might seem pricier over three years than on-premise servers, but it has perks like lower upfront costs and no need for internal remote engineers. If treated as an operational expense, the advantages often outweigh the long-term cost.

For those looking to start using Amazon AWS, my advice is to consider AWS Lightsail for a quick and easy deployment. Setting up an account is straightforward, and it is a hassle-free solution. Overall, I would rate Amazon S3 Glacier as a nine out of ten.

I use Amazon S3 Glacier for cloud automation to deploy basic and dynamic websites. We can create Terraform for resource provisioning using it. It helps us with cross-region verification of resources.

The product automatically replicates objects from a S3 bucket in one region to another bucket in a different region. If an object or bucket is accidentally deleted in one region, the replicated copy in the other region remains intact, helping to prevent data loss.

They should increase the data limit for the free version or reduce the price. Some of the customers of AWS are students who are trying to learn how to use the right services. These particular improvements will be helpful for them.

We have been using Amazon S3 Glacier for four years now.

I rate the product’s stability a ten out of ten.

The initial setup process is very simple. It takes a few seconds to complete. However, enabling bucket versioning, which helps with data protection by preserving multiple versions of objects, requires a little extra setup time.

Amazon S3 Glacier is expensive.

I advise others to set up cross-region verification for the S3 bucket. It is crucial to check the amount of data they upload. Companies should carefully evaluate their AWS usage based on specific goals and requirements. Different pricing plans and services may be more suitable for different use cases. They should implement bucket policies that require confirmation or additional steps before deleting files, which can prevent accidental data deletions. It saves a lot of data.
