https://aws.amazon.com/polly/ I am pleased to announce the availability of Amazon EBS Snapshots Archive, a new storage tier for the long-term retention of https://aws.amazon.com/ebs/ snapshots of your EBS volumes. You may use EBS snapshots to create point-in-time copies of your volume data.

EBS Snapshots Archive provides a low-cost storage tier to archive full, point-in-time copies of EBS Snapshots that you must retain for 90 days or more for regulatory and compliance reasons, or for future project releases.

Furthermore, you can retrieve an archived snapshot within 24-72 hours, and, once restored, use the snapshot to recover an EBS volume.

There are two metrics that influence EBS Snapshots Archive billing: data storage and data retrieval.
