AWS S3 Lifecycle Policies - Prep for Deep Archive

AWS recently released a new S3 storage class called Deep Archive. It's an archival data service with pretty low cost for data you need to hold onto, but don't access very often.

Deep Archive is about half the cost of Glacier at $0.00099 per GB per month, but you sacrifice the option to get your data back in minutes, your only retrieval option is hours.

AWS Powershell Tools Snippets: S3 Multipart Upload Cleanup

My company does quite a bit with AWS S3. We use it to store static files and images, we push backups to it, we use it to deliver application artifacts, and the list goes on.

When you push a significant amount of data to and from S3, you're bound to experience some network interruptions that could stop an upload. Most of the time S3 clients will recover on their own, but there are some cases where it might struggle.
