  • Records actions in CloudTrail

Implementation Details

The implementation process involves:

  1. Bucket Analysis
    • Identify eligible buckets
    • Check object sizes
    • Analyze access patterns
  2. Configuration Setup
    • Enable Intelligent-Tiering
    • Set transition parameters
    • Configure monitoring
  3. Verification
    • Confirm configuration
    • Monitor transitions
    • Track cost savings

Important Considerations

  • Minimum object size requirements
  • Monthly monitoring fees
  • Regional availability
  • API rate limits

Safety and Rollback

Safety Measures

  • No data modification
  • Maintains object accessibility
  • CloudTrail logging
  • Gradual implementation

Rollback Process

  • Disable Intelligent-Tiering
  • Restore original storage class
  • Verify configuration
