We were using Amazon S3 Glacier, and I have experience with this solution. We had an S3 bucket that we were using about a year ago. We just started using Amazon S3 Glacier, and overall, I have been using it for less than 12 months, not quite a year. I have approximately 20 years of experience working in storage.
We just use it for file storage, so it is good enough for us. From a strategy perspective, we use the Intelligent-Tiering, so some files might be stored in Amazon S3 Glacier. It serves as raw file storage which we rarely access.

I am using AWS products such as EC2, Lambda, and Load Balancers. We are taking backups for the database and other things, and we are using it as a backup repository.

I primarily work in the solutioning part of Enterprise Data Warehouse building. We use AWS services like Redshift, Glue, S3 data lake house building, and Iceberg for ACID confirmation. We also incorporate Glacier for data archival, especially for regulatory compliance and data retention.
We use Amazon S3 Glacier primarily for archiving data that we need less frequently. The data is stored in a cold format, meaning we can wait even up to a day for retrieval without impacting our operations. We also use other AWS solutions like EC2 and S3.
Amazon S3 Glacier is primarily used for archiving data. We use it for long-term data storage, especially in industries that require data to be kept for extensive periods, like financial sectors and banks. Amazon S3 Glacier gives control over the duration of data storage and its removal.

I use the solution for storage. We use it for application data storage and retrieval and for data backup. It has various use cases for storing applications, platforms, or other data types.
We used to have our own storage, hardware, and software in a legacy environment. Our data was completely stored on-premises. Nowadays, AWS is offering a cheap way of storing data. We use Amazon S3 Glacier for the project's storage purposes.
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.

We use Amazon S3 Glacier for several purposes. We have buckets for our pipelines, software repository, timesheets, and performance data. As per state regulations, we must retain this data for eight years. So to comply with these regulations, we have set up a lifecycle policy in S3 that moves the data to Glacier after five years. This means the data will be stored in Glacier for the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth years. We can retrieve the data from Glacier if we need to access it during this time. Beyond five years, the data will remain in Glacier for three years.
We use S3 as a short-term backup, and we use the Glacier as a long retention backup for our customers. We also use Crosswork to orchestrate from on-prem to the cloud. For example, we had a customer who has certified remote offices, and they want to control the backup at these remote offices from the head office. We installed our own software, and we booked and supplied S3 pockets to each one.
Amazon Glacier is a secure, durable, and extremely low-cost cloud storage service for data archiving and long-term backup. Customers can reliably store large or small amounts of data for as little as $0.007 per gigabyte per month, a significant savings compared to on-premises solutions. To keep costs low, Amazon Glacier is optimized for infrequently accessed data where a retrieval time of several hours is suitable.
