Amazon Simple Storage Service S3 One Zone IA Icon

Amazon S3 One Zone-IA (One Zone Infrequent Access) is a storage class designed for storing data that is accessed less frequently. It's a cost-effective option because it only stores your data in a single Availability Zone within an AWS region, making it cheaper than S3 Standard or other S3 storage classes that replicate data across multiple zones for high availability. This trade-off is suitable when data loss in a single zone is acceptable, and retrieval speed is less critical because it's optimized for infrequent access. It's ideal for archiving data or storing backups that you rarely need to retrieve quickly.
