Amazon S3 Tables now offer the Intelligent-Tiering storage class

Amazon S3 Tables now offer the Intelligent-Tiering storage class, which optimizes costs based on access patterns, without performance impact or operational overhead. Intelligent-Tiering automatically transitions data in tables across three low-latency access tiers as access patterns change, reducing storage costs by up to 80%. Additionally, S3 Tables automated maintenance operations such as compaction, snapshot expiration, and unreferenced file removal never tier up your data. This helps you to keep your tables optimized while saving on storage costs.

With the Intelligent-Tiering storage class, data in tables not accessed for 30 consecutive days automatically transitions to the Infrequent Access tier (40% lower cost than the Frequent Access tier). After 90 days without access, that data transitions to the Archive Instant Access tier (68% lower cost than the Infrequent Access tier). You can now select Intelligent-Tiering as the storage class when you create a table or set it as the default 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 about S3 Tables, visit the product page, documentation, and read the AWS News Blog.
