+**Cost implication** | Cached data preservation eliminates the need for re-downloads, resulting in zero additional S3 costs. | This method may incur additional costs, particularly if data retrieval from S3 is necessary. This approach can also result in substantial S3 data retrieval expenses if the file shares backed by S3 buckets utilize storage classes such as S3 Intelligent-Tiering, S3 Standard-IA, S3 One Zone-IA, or objects transitioned to GLACIER through S3 lifecycle policies. In the case of SMB file shares, if the root ACL is configured on the file share, it must be re-applied to the migrated gateway. This action will apply the setting recursively to all objects within the file share, introducing some cost implications.
