AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 628

A company wants to give its customers the ability to view specific data that is hosted in Amazon S3 buckets. The company wants to keep control over the full datasets that the company shares with the customers.

Which S3 feature will meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. S3 Storage Lens
• B. S3 Cross-Region Replication (CRR)
• C. S3 Versioning
• D. S3 Access Points

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Amazon S3 Access Points allow organizations to create unique hostnames with dedicated access policies for different customers, enabling granular control over shared datasets within a single bucket. Other features like S3 Storage Lens (for storage analytics), S3 Cross-Region Replication (for disaster recovery), and S3 Versioning (for data preservation) do not provide this targeted access management capability.
