Question 540
A data lake must preserve copies and recover from accidental lifecycle changes. The team confirms that an application needs immediate access after a Region outage but only deep-archive objects exist elsewhere. Which approach most directly resolves this gap?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The scenario identifies this requirement: An application needs immediate access after a Region outage but only deep-archive objects exist elsewhere. Select Choose suitable storage tiers/retrieval timing for recovery objectives as the specified technical mechanism. Deep archives may not meet minute-scale RTOs. This response addresses the problem described rather than a different design goal.
Incorrect Answers
The option Enable S3 Versioning and establish recovery handling for future deletes addresses a separate condition: an S3 object is deleted by mistake and the bucket has no versioning. Versioning retains previous object versions. The actual requirement is an application needs immediate access after a Region outage but only deep-archive objects exist elsewhere. Choose suitable storage tiers/retrieval timing for recovery objectives instead: Deep archives may not meet minute-scale RTOs.
For the alternative failure security must ensure archive objects cannot be deleted for a regulated retention period, the control Apply Object Lock retention with the required mode and policy is relevant: object Lock controls version deletion before expiry. Here the evidence instead is an application needs immediate access after a Region outage but only deep-archive objects exist elsewhere. The selected technical mechanism is Choose suitable storage tiers/retrieval timing for recovery objectives: deep archives may not meet minute-scale RTOs.
Configure CRR with S3 versioning and source/destination KMS permissions solves a different operational problem where a second-region copy is required but objects use customer KMS keys. Cross-region encrypted replication needs explicit cryptographic authorization. It does not directly address an application needs immediate access after a Region outage but only deep-archive objects exist elsewhere. The case calls for Choose suitable storage tiers/retrieval timing for recovery objectives, since deep archives may not meet minute-scale RTOs.
