Challange Number 2, Data Stores

Hi,
you choose option C, while in the question they mentioned the older data is rarely accessible, so I think it must be Option B especially the only difference between both answeres are Glacier 
I know the data must be online but it is rarely accessed so glacier will be cheaper in this case, right?

Hi Ahmad,

Retreiving data from Glacier is still an async process requiring you to make a request to get a file, so this violates the restriction in the question about having all the data online.  Glacier is considered "cold storage" while S3 IA is still considered "warm" or "nearline" storage.
