What was the recommended use case for S3 Reduced Redundancy storage before its deprecation was planned?

A.
It was used to reduce storage costs by providing 500 times the durability of a typical disk drive at lower levels of redundancy.
B. It was used to reduce storage costs for noncritical data at lower levels of redundancy.
C. It was used to reduce storage costs by allowing you to destroy any copy of your files outside a specific jurisdiction.
D. It was used to reduce storage costs for reproducible data at high levels of redundancy in a single facility.

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

Explanation Reduced Redundancy Storage (RRS) was introduced in order to reduce storage costs. When first developed, you could use reduced redundancy storage for noncritical, reproducible data at lower levels of redundancy than Amazon S3 provides with standard storage. Now Standard is a more af-fordable from a cost perspective, because Amazon is deprecating RRS and has changed the pricing structure.
