Which data retrieval option in Amazon Glacier is intended for quick access?

Standard
Expedited
Bulk
Long-Term

The correct answer is: Expedited

The option designed for quick access in Amazon Glacier is Expedited retrieval. Expedited retrieval is ideal for scenarios where you need to access your data quickly, typically within minutes. This retrieval option allows customers to have a faster response time than other retrieval methods, which may take hours to days. In situations where immediate access to archived data is crucial—such as when you're responding to an urgent business need or compliance requirement—Expedited retrieval ensures that you can retrieve your data quickly, minimizing delays and disruptions. This option is particularly valuable for those who need occasional quick access to a small amount of data from their Glacier storage. The other retrieval options, like Standard and Bulk, cater to different needs, focusing on cost-efficiency for retrieving larger datasets or less time-sensitive data. Long-Term does not pertain specifically to retrieval speeds but instead suggests a strategy for archiving data efficiently over time.
