AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 445

A company wants to store its files in the AWS Cloud. Users need to be able to download these files directly using a public URL.

Which AWS service or feature will meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Amazon Redshift
• B. Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS)
• C. Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS)
• D. Amazon S3

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Amazon S3 is an object storage service designed to store and retrieve any amount of data from anywhere on the web, making it easy to share files via public URLs. In contrast, Amazon EBS and Amazon EFS are designed for mounting directly to compute instances and do not natively support direct public URL access. Amazon Redshift is a fully managed data warehouse service and is not meant for general file storage and sharing.
