If you are using AWS S3 for your Artifactory storage, you are probably using the Standard storage class. This is the default for S3 and historically was the suggested practice for Artifactory.

After thorough testing, JFrog has determined that Artifactory can work with the Intelligent Tiering storage class, maintaining all the same service levels as the Standard storage class. There are some important implementation details and this guide aims to direct you through the migration process from Standard S3 storage to Intelligent Tiering storage.

Potential Costs Savings

The possible cost savings from using Intelligent Tiering depends on the access pattern of your data. Based on some examples that AWS mentions, savings may range between 20% and 60%.
