Cloud front distributions will be faster than s3 because they take advantage of POP locations of AWS
If the video is POP location on request then video gets cached to POP location and will be available for TTL (default 1 day)

Glacier and Glacier Deep Archive

Glacier is used for the data which is not meant to accessed frequently.
Glacier is archival storage.
In Glacier the data has to be present at least for 90 days
In Glacier – Deep archive data has to be present at for 180 days
Glacier will have vaults. Inside these vaults you can store the content
Data can be copied into Glacier using life cycle rules of S3
Uploading Archive to Vault can be done from
- aws sdk (C# or Java or Python)
- aws cli
For cli Refer Here
Glacier takes up to 15 hours to download the data where as Glacier deep archive takes upto 12 hours to download the data from glacier
uploaded sample to glacier vault using cli

AWS Storage Gateway

This connects an on-premises applications with aws cloud based storage
Offers
- File Gateway:
  - This supports file interface into S3 & combine service & virtual software appliance.
  - Using this we can retrieve, store objects in S3 over standard protocols such as NFS & SMB
  - This s/w appliance is deployed into on-premise virtual machine (VMware, Hyper, KVM)
- Volume Gateway:
  - This provides cloud-based storage volumes that can be mounted as Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI)
  - This is supported on hypervisior (VMWare, KVM or Microsoft)
  - This supports two volume configurations
    - Cached Volumes
    - Stored Volumes
- Tape Gateway:
  - This Gateway privides cloud-backed virtul tape storage
  - This is supported on hypervisior (VMWare, KVM or Microsoft)
  - This tape gateway is cost-effective for archiving back up data into Glacier or Glacier Deep Archive.
