AWS Certified Data Engineer Associate DEA-C01 Practice Question
A company stores 5 GB of application logs in an Amazon S3 bucket each day. Operations teams query the most recent 12 months of logs with Amazon Athena several times per week. Logs older than 12 months are rarely accessed, but compliance rules require the data to be retained for seven years and remain restorable within a few hours. Which solution cost-effectively meets these requirements while minimizing operational overhead?
Enable S3 Intelligent-Tiering for the bucket and add a lifecycle rule to delete objects seven years after creation.
Configure Cross-Region Replication to a second bucket that uses the S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval storage class and set a seven-year expiration rule on the destination objects.
Use an S3 Lifecycle rule to transition objects directly to S3 Glacier Deep Archive 30 days after upload and retain them for seven years.
Create an S3 Lifecycle rule that transitions log objects to S3 Standard-IA 30 days after upload, transitions them to S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval after 365 days, and permanently deletes them seven years after creation.
A lifecycle rule can automatically transition objects between S3 storage classes. Moving logs to S3 Standard-IA 30 days after upload reduces cost while still allowing immediate Athena access. After 365 days, transitioning the objects to S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval further cuts storage cost and still offers standard or expedited restores that complete within hours, satisfying the compliance restore window. The same rule can specify deletion after seven years, eliminating manual housekeeping. S3 Intelligent-Tiering adds unnecessary monitoring cost, and Glacier Deep Archive or S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval either violate the required restore time or cost more for infrequently accessed data. Replicating data to another bucket does not lower storage cost and adds complexity.
