AWS Certified Data Engineer - Associate DEA-C01 — Topic 1 Question 269

Question

A company must retain specific data for 1 year. A data engineer observes that one of the company’s Amazon S3 buckets contains millions of objects that are older than 3 years. Versioning is enabled on the bucket. To reduce costs, the data engineer implements an S3 Lifecycle rule to expire objects after 365 days. The new S3 Lifecycle rule causes the object count to double instead of decrease. Which additional step must the data engineer take to permanently delete the old objects?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: D. The correct answer is D. Option D: Add an additional S3 Lifecycle rule to delete the current and expired versions of objects that are older than 365 days. S3 Lifecycle policies automatically transition or expire objects to control storage cost. Amazon S3 provides durable, scalable object storage that is fully managed. This option delivers the requirement at the lowest cost.
