Sobre oportunidades de redução de custo para o serviço AWS S3 através de alocações personalizadas.

Abstract

In order to meet the growing demand for data storage, cloud computing providers offer storage as a service. In this context, the same provider has different storage offers in its catalog that vary in terms of availability, durability, performance and, consequently, price. Choosing the cloud storage configuration that meets the application's requirements at the best cost is therefore not a trivial task. To assist in this choice, AWS offers Intelligent Tiering, a special storage layer that automates the allocation of objects according to accesses, in order to reduce costs. However, this option should be used with caution, since custom allocations by object can mean significant savings. In this work, it will be shown that the study of the object's access profile is indispensable for the optimization of the use of cloud storage resources.
