3. Audio archives–SoundCloud
• World’s leading social sound platform
• Audio files transcoded and stored in multiple formats
• Stores PBs of data
• Transcoded files served from S3
• Originals moved to Amazon Glacier for long-term retention

4. • Media distribution backbone (Ve.nue platform)
• OTT broadcast service
• PBs of media assets
• Assets to be archived and retained for decades
Video archives ̶

5. Patient data–Philips Healthcare
• HealthSuite digital platform powered by AWS
• 15 petabytes of patient data
• Archived for decades (beyond the lifetime of patients)
• Uses AWS HIPAA-eligible services in the BAA

6. Public sector–King County
• Most populous county in Washington state
• Replaced tape solution for backup from 17 agencies
• Meets compliance requirement
• Saved $1MM in first year; no more tape refresh or
management churn

7. Archive:
Data retained for the long term,
for compliance or potential
future reference
Data archiving needs are growing everywhere
• Media assets, 4K, 8K
• Health care/life sciences
• Financial services
• Regulated industries
• Oil and gas/geospatial
• Digital preservation
• Long-term backups
• Logs

8. Traditional archiving approaches
• Storage arrays/disk arrays
• Tape silos/tape libraries
• Tape drives (LTO-X/DLT/etc.)
• Virtual tape libraries (VTLs)
• Tape out/vaulting
• Specialized software and
personnel

9. How can AWS help with your archival?
Metered usage:
Pay as you go
No capital investment
No commitment
No risky capacity planning
Avoid risks of physical
media handling
Control your
geographic locality for
performance and
compliance

10. Archive Options–Storage Tiers and Data Lifecycle

12. A closer look: S3-IA and Amazon Glacier
S3-IA
• Same durability and throughput as S3 Standard
• Instant access
• $0.01/GB on each data retrieval
Amazon Glacier
• Same 11 9s durability as S3 Standard
• 3-5 hour data retrieval latency
• Suitable for cold archive such as offsite tapes

19. Example backup software integration
• CommVault–Native integration with
S3 and Amazon Glacier
• Deduplication and encryption
• Single-console management

20. Compliance Use Case 1–Regulatory Retention

21. Amazon Glacier Vault Lock allows you to easily
set compliance controls on individual vaults and
enforce them via a lockable policy
Time-based retention
MFA authentication
Controls govern all
records in a Vault
Immutable policy
Two-step locking
Compliance storage with Vault Lock

22. Vault Lock for compliance storage
• Non-overwrite, non-erasable records
• Time-based retention with “ArchiveAgeInDays” control
• Policy lockdown (strong governance)
• Legal hold with vault-level tags
• Configure optional designated third-party access and grant
temporary access

23. Amazon Glacier received a third-party assessment
from Cohasset Associates on how Amazon Glacier
with Vault Lock can be used to meet the requirements
of SEC Rule 17a-4(f) and CFTC 1.31(b)-(c).

24. Example control: 1-year record retention

25. Example control: 1-year record retention

46. Compliance Use Case 2–Auditing and Alerts

47. Audit logging with AWS CloudTrail
• S3 and Amazon Glacier can log API
calls for audit via CloudTrail
• Enable CloudTrail in the AWS console
and designate your log bucket
• S3 logs bucket-level activities; object
activities supported via event notification
• Amazon Glacier logs all API calls for
vault and archives

48. Access policy for a storage container
• Control access to a storage container in a single location
– S3 bucket or Amazon Glacier vault access policy
– Grant/revoke access to internal business units/teams
– “Marketing_Vault” has a distinct access policy from “DevOps_Vault”
• Easily manage cross-account access for your business partner
– Simply add a section for your business partner in the same policy
– Cross-account activities (API calls) also show up in CloudTrail logs

49. S3 event notifications

• Notification when objects are
created via PUT, POST, Copy, or
Multipart Upload, DELETE
• Filtering on prefixes and suffixes
for all types of notifications

51. Compliance Use Case 3–Geographic Redundancy

52. Remote replicas managed
by separate AWS accounts
Secure
Distribute data to regional
customers
Lower Latency
Store hundreds of
miles apart
Compliance
S3 cross-region replication
Automated, fast, and reliable asynchronous replication of data across AWS regions

53. • Usual charges for
storage, requests, and
inter-region data transfer
for the replicated copy of
data
• Replicate into Standard-IA
or Amazon Glacier
Cost
HEAD operation on a source
object to determine replication
status
• Replicated objects will not be
re-replicated
• Use S3 COPY to replicate
existing objects

DELETE without object

• Marker replicated

• Marker NOT replicated
