AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer Associate SOA-C03 Practice Question
Your company stores application configuration files in a single Amazon S3 bucket. Developers occasionally overwrite files by mistake. Management requires the ability to restore any previous version for up to 90 days while keeping storage costs as low as possible. The solution must rely only on native AWS features and require no custom code. Which action meets these requirements?
Configure cross-region replication and disable replication of delete markers so older copies remain in the destination bucket for 90 days.
Enable bucket versioning and add a lifecycle rule that transitions noncurrent versions to S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval after 1 day and permanently deletes them after 90 days.
Enable object lock in compliance mode with a 90-day retention period on the bucket.
Enable bucket versioning and turn on MFA Delete to protect objects from accidental deletion.
Enabling S3 Versioning preserves every revision of an object, allowing immediate rollback to any previous state. A lifecycle rule that quickly transitions noncurrent versions to the lower-cost S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval storage class and deletes them after 90 days minimizes ongoing storage costs while still providing fast recovery during the retention window. Object Lock enforces immutability, which prevents deletion and therefore cannot satisfy the 90-day removal requirement. Cross-Region Replication protects against regional failure but does not automatically keep recoverable versions in the source bucket nor control their lifetime. MFA Delete adds protection against accidental deletions but provides no automated cost management or expiry for old versions.
