storage option that enables customers to reduce their costs by storing noncritical, reproducible data at
lower levels of redundancy than Amazon S3's standard storage.
What factors are taken in account to estimate S3 storage charges? - ✔✔Storage Class, storage (the number
and size of objects stored in your S3 bucket), requests (the number and type of requests), and data
