AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C02) — Question 140

A company's operations team has an existing Amazon S3 bucket configured to notify an Amazon SQS queue when new objects are created within the bucket. The development team also wants to receive events when new objects are created. The existing operations team workflow must remain intact.
Which solution would satisfy these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Create another SQS queue. Update the S3 events in the bucket to also update the new queue when a new object is created.
• B. Create a new SQS queue that only allows Amazon S3 to access the queue. Update Amazon S3 to update this queue when a new object is created.
• C. Create an Amazon SNS topic and SQS queue for the bucket updates. Update the bucket to send events to the new topic. Updates both queues to poll Amazon SNS.
• D. Create an Amazon SNS topic and SQS queue for the bucket updates. Update the bucket to send events to the new topic. Add subscriptions for both queues in the topic.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it allows both the operations and development teams to receive notifications about new object creations without disrupting the existing workflow. Options A and B only create additional queues without addressing the need for simultaneous notifications, and option C lacks direct subscriptions to the topic for both queues, which is essential for delivering messages to multiple subscribers.
