Amazon S3 Inventory now reports the Intelligent-tiering access tier for objects
Customers can now use Amazon S3 Inventory to report the access tier of objects stored in the S3 Intelligent-Tiering storage class. S3 Intelligent-Tiering is a new storage class that makes it easy for developers and IT infrastructure managers to reduce costs on storage when access patterns change without sacrificing performance or availability. It works by storing objects in one of two access tiers: one tier that is optimized for Frequent access, and another lower-cost tier that is optimized for Infrequent access. You can now use S3 Inventory to view the access tier of your Intelligent-Tiering objects in all AWS Regions.
