AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C02) — Question 43

A company hosts a static website within an Amazon S3 bucket. A solutions architect needs to ensure that data can be recovered in case of accidental deletion.
Which action will accomplish this?

Answer options

• A. Enable Amazon S3 versioning.
• B. Enable Amazon S3 Intelligent-Tiering.
• C. Enable an Amazon S3 lifecycle policy.
• D. Enable Amazon S3 cross-Region replication.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Enabling Amazon S3 versioning allows for the preservation of multiple versions of an object, which means that even if an object is accidentally deleted, the previous versions can be recovered. The other options do not specifically address the issue of recovery from accidental deletion; Intelligent-Tiering manages cost, lifecycle policies handle object expiration, and cross-Region replication is for data redundancy across regions.
