What is the correct answer to your question?

You have been storing massive amounts of data on Amazon Glacier for the past 2 years and now start to wonder if there are any limitations on this.

What is the correct answer to your question?
A .  The total volume of data is limited but the number of archives you can store are unlimited.
B .  The total volume of data is unlimited but the number of archives you can store are limited.
C .  The total volume of data and number of archives you can store are unlimited.
D .  The total volume of data is limited and the number of archives you can store are limited.

Answer: C

Explanation:

An archive is a durably stored block of information. You store your data in Amazon Glacier as archives. You may upload a single file as an archive, but your costs will be lower if you aggregate your data.

TAR and ZIP are common formats that customers use to aggregate multiple files into a single file before uploading to Amazon Glacier.

The total volume of data and number of archives you can store are unlimited. Individual Amazon Glacier archives can range in size from 1 byte to 40 terabytes.

The largest archive that can be uploaded in a single upload request is 4 gigabytes.

For items larger than 100 megabytes, customers should consider using the Multipart upload capability.

Archives stored in Amazon Glacier are immutable, i.e. archives can be uploaded and deleted but cannot be edited or overwritten.
