Question

A company has developed a static website hosted on an Amazon S3 bucket. The website is deployed using AWS CloudFormation. The CloudFormation template defines an S3 bucket and a custom resource that copies content into the bucket from a source location. The company has decided that it needs to move the website to a new location, so the existing CloudFormation stack must be deleted and re-created. However, CloudFormation reports that the stack could not be deleted cleanly. What is the MOST likely cause and how can the DevOps engineer mitigate this problem for this and future versions of the website?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. The correct answer is B. Option B: Deletion has failed because the S3 bucket is not empty. Modify the custom resource's AWS Lambda function code to recursively empty the bucket when RequestType is Delete. AWS Lambda runs code without provisioning servers and scales automatically, which minimizes operational overhead. Amazon S3 provides durable, scalable object storage that is fully managed.
