Amazon Glacier

Amazon Glacier is a secure cloud storage service designed for long-term data archiving. It allows users to store large amounts of data at a low cost, making it ideal for organizations or individuals who need to keep data for years but do not require immediate access. Users can retrieve their files when needed, but the process may take some time, reflecting the service’s focus on cost-effectiveness rather than speed. Amazon Glacier is commonly used for backup, archiving company records, or storing large datasets that aren’t frequently accessed.
