AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 — Question 289

The correct answer is B. Option B: Apply an IAM role to the Lambda function. Apply an IAM policy to the role to grant read access to the S3 bucket.

Explanation

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. An IAM role grants temporary, least-privilege permissions to AWS resources without long-term credentials.
