Amazon S3 Glacier Valuable Features

Kiran Rajanna - PeerSpot reviewer

The most valuable feature of Glacier is that it automatically processes archives. Glacier's performance is also very good. We initially thought retrieving objects from Glacier would be difficult but easy and quick.

The biggest advantage of the product is that AWS always copies the tool internally. So, we have two or three copies of our data. We’re pretty sure that once it's uploaded, it's available. We can move it to less expensive storage if we don't use it. The way of working is very intelligent. It's very useful.

It's up to us to decide how many copies we need and how frequently we want to make copies. Whether we want a fast or slow disk, cheap or expensive, it’s up to us as architects. We have a lot of choices. It's a product that has been working for a very long time. Most remarks from customers have been dealt with. Everything a customer could want is available.

We save money with the product. If some file is not frequently accessed, Glacier helps put things there. It is a fantastic product that works as expected.

I like creating buckets where data can be segregated at a high level and then routing the appropriate data to each designated bucket. In terms of value, I would say that the tool gets the job done in a simpler manner.

The product automatically replicates objects from a S3 bucket in one region to another bucket in a different region. If an object or bucket is accidentally deleted in one region, the replicated copy in the other region remains intact, helping to prevent data loss.

We sync to S3 and transfer to Glacier. It is a slow system in terms of performance. Also, it's cheap. It takes several hours to retrieve data if you need something from it.

There's no storage limit, and the price is excellent.

Our source metadata used for analytics and data lake was kept on Amazon S3 Glacier. Amazon S3 Glacier is a very cheap storage, where we store infrequently used data. If we have a large amount of data that many people are not accessing, we keep it in Amazon S3 Glacier to save the cost.

We get free credits from Amazon, and we like the overall stability. We haven't had to rely heavily on their customer success teams, which is a good sign.

With hyperscalers like Amazon, things are generally pretty smooth. As long as the product is stable, billing is clear, and we don't have issues, we're happy.

I find Amazon S3 Glacier valuable for storing various documents like purchase orders, standard documents, and drawings. It complements my setup where the files are stored in S3, and the main application is hosted on EC2 containers.

The pricing is low, and it's dedicated to archiving is valuable to us. 

So that's a good thing because you don't have to pay a lot when you don't use your data.

I like the price. If you compare Glacier to others, the prices in terms of what you store beyond retention are much lower. You would pay a lot more money to archive it online or on-premise storage because Glacier has been designed to keep content for longer retention. It will cost a lot of money if you keep it in online storage in your data center.

Director - DevOps and Infrastructure at INTIGRAL

The solution is great for storing data you don't usually need access to. It's also well-integrated with Amazon S3.

You store data in S3 and you create a policy that if this data is not accessed very frequently or if the data is not used, it will move that data from high storage to low storage. Cost-wise, it means great savings. If I'm paying $10 in internal storage, it will move to Glacier where I only pay less than a cent. You can push the data which you need, say once every two months or once every three months. That's the kind of data you can push into Glacier, not the data which you use every day or twice in a week.
