Which storage class is known for being accessed frequently and serving as the default setup in S3?

Reduced Redundancy Storage
Intelligent Tiering
Standard
One Zone - IA

The correct answer is: Standard

The Standard storage class in Amazon S3 is designed for frequently accessed data and serves as the default storage option when you create a new bucket or upload objects. It provides high durability, availability, and performance, making it suitable for a range of applications that require consistent access to their data. When items are stored in the Standard class, they benefit from S3's scalability and low latency, meaning users can retrieve their data quickly without worrying about performance issues. Standard storage is ideal for use cases such as hosting dynamic websites, big data analytics, and content distribution where data needs to be accessed frequently. Other storage classes, such as Reduced Redundancy Storage, Intelligent Tiering, and One Zone - IA, focus on different use cases or offer cost savings by allowing for lower durability or access frequency options, thereby not being the preferred choice for data that is needed regularly.
