AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer Associate SOA-C03 Practice Question
A CloudOps engineer must automate backups of an Amazon S3 bucket that stores compliance records. The solution must run a backup at midnight every day, retain each recovery point for 7 years, and allow one-click point-in-time restore. Backups must be immutable and managed centrally with the least operational overhead. Which approach meets these requirements by following AWS best practices?
Configure same-Region cross-account replication to a backup account and apply a lifecycle expiration rule on the destination bucket after 7 years.
Enable S3 versioning and add a lifecycle rule that moves noncurrent object versions to Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive after 24 hours.
Create a CloudWatch Events rule that invokes an AWS Lambda function daily to copy objects to another bucket configured with S3 Object Lock in compliance mode for 7 years.
Use AWS Backup to assign the bucket to a daily backup plan that stores recovery points in a vault with a 7-year retention period and Vault Lock enabled.
AWS Backup provides fully managed, incremental backups of Amazon S3 buckets. By assigning the bucket to a daily backup plan, recovery points are created automatically and stored in a backup vault. The vault can be protected with Vault Lock so that retention rules (for example, 7 years) cannot be altered, delivering immutability. The service also offers console-based, point-in-time restores and central policy management. Versioning with lifecycle rules, cross-region replication, or custom Lambda copy jobs can offer extra copies but do not provide centrally enforced retention, immutable recovery points, or the simplified restore workflow required.
