Getting Started with Amazon Glacier



Amazon Glacier is an extremely low-cost storage service that provides secure and durable storage for data archiving and backup. In order to keep costs low, Amazon Glacier is optimized for data that is infrequently accessed and for which retrieval times of several hours are suitable. With Amazon Glacier, customers can reliably store large or small amounts of data for as little as $0.01 per gigabyte per month, a significant savings compared to on-premises solutions.

Retrieving archives from Amazon Glacier requires the initiation of a job. Jobs typically complete in 3 to 5 hours. You organize your archives in vaults
The quick start video for Amazon Glacier walks you through on how-to use the AWS Management console to create vaults in Amazon Glacier.

To upload the data to Amazon Glacier, users must use the SDKs/APIs provided by AWS for uploading the data.








In case your data is too huge to be uploaded through internet, you can make use of another AWS Service - AWS Import/Export. It accelerates moving large amounts of data into and out of AWS using portable storage devices (see supported devices) for transport. You can ship your device along with its interface connectors, and power supply to AWS. When your package arrives, it will be processed and securely transferred to an AWS data center, where your device will be attached to an AWS Import/Export station. After the data load completes, the device will be returned to you.
