A company stores user-uploaded videos in an S3 bucket using S3 Standard. Videos are frequently accessed during the first 180 days after upload and rarely after 180 days. Videos are accessed by named and anonymous users. Most videos exceed 100 MB. Uploads often fail due to poor connectivity, so multipart uploads are used. A solutions architect must optimize S3 costs. Which combination of actions will meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

Correct answer: Create an S3 Lifecycle rule to expire incomplete multipart uploads 7 days after initiation., Create an S3 Lifecycle rule to transition objects to S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) after 180 days..
Why this is the answer
The correct options optimize S3 costs effectively. Transitioning objects to S3 Standard-IA after 180 days aligns with the access pattern of videos being rarely accessed after this period, offering significant cost savings over S3 Standard for infrequent access. Expiring incomplete multipart uploads after 7 days prevents accumulating storage charges for failed or abandoned uploads, which can be substantial given the large file sizes and poor connectivity. Requester Pays is incorrect because it shifts costs to users, which is generally not desirable for user-uploaded content and doesn't directly optimize the company's S3 costs. S3 Transfer Acceleration is for faster uploads, not cost optimization. Transitioning to S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval after 1 day is too aggressive, as videos are frequently accessed for 180 days, leading to higher retrieval costs.
