AWS Certified Data Engineer Associate DEA-C01 Practice Question
A media analytics company ingests 5 TB of raw clickstream data into an Amazon S3 bucket daily. Compliance requires retaining objects for 7 years, but they are rarely accessed after 30 days. During audits, engineers must retrieve specific objects in under 15 minutes. The company wants the lowest storage cost with minimal effort. Which S3 Lifecycle configuration meets these requirements?
Transition objects to S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval after 30 days and permanently delete them after 7 years.
Enable versioning, replicate objects to another bucket stored in S3 Standard, and delete the originals after 7 years.
Transition objects to S3 One Zone-IA after 30 days, then to S3 Intelligent-Tiering after 180 days, and delete them after 7 years.
Transition objects to S3 Glacier Deep Archive after 30 days and permanently delete them after 7 years.
Transitioning objects to S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval 30 days after creation provides the lowest long-term storage cost while still allowing expedited retrievals in 1-5 minutes, satisfying the 15-minute audit requirement. Adding an expiration rule deletes the objects exactly 7 years after creation, fulfilling the retention mandate and avoiding ongoing storage charges. Glacier Deep Archive is cheaper but cannot meet the 15-minute retrieval target (minimum 12 hours). One Zone-IA costs more than Glacier classes for multiyear storage. Replicating or keeping data in S3 Standard offers no cost advantage and adds operational overhead, making those options sub-optimal.
