The document discusses updates to Amazon S3 storage services, including: 1) Increased data transfer growth on S3 of 120% year-over-year from Q2 2014 to Q2 2015. 2) The introduction of a new S3 storage class called Standard-Infrequent Access (S3-IA) which provides lower fees than S3 Standard but with a 99.9% availability service level agreement. 3) Guidance on selecting the appropriate S3 storage class based on data access frequency and cost, including S3, S3-IA, and Glacier.
