  • With the help of Amazon glacier, you can store their data cost-effectively for months, years, or more -- even decades.
  • AmazonGlacier is very helpful for customers to offload the administrative burdens of operating and scaling storage to AWS.
  • Basically, no need to worry about hardware failure detection and recovery and any other data replication.
