Hi All,

We're backing up the Elasticsearch cluster indices to a S3 bucket (S3 repository by snapshot API), daily backup is around 1TB, and deleting the snapshots older than 30 days. Total size of S3 bucket is more than 150 TB.

Planning to enable storage tier on this S3 bucket for cost savings. Please suggest which storage tier is best suitable.

Thank You.

I'm using Frequent Access without issue. (Inteligent tiering)
