AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C03) — Question 92

A survey company has gathered data for several years from areas in the United States. The company hosts the data in an Amazon S3 bucket that is 3 TB in size and growing. The company has started to share the data with a European marketing firm that has S3 buckets. The company wants to ensure that its data transfer costs remain as low as possible.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Configure the Requester Pays feature on the company's S3 bucket.
• B. Configure S3 Cross-Region Replication from the company's S3 bucket to one of the marketing firm's S3 buckets.
• C. Configure cross-account access for the marketing firm so that the marketing firm has access to the company's S3 bucket.
• D. Configure the company's S3 bucket to use S3 Intelligent-Tiering. Sync the S3 bucket to one of the marketing firm's S3 buckets.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, ensures that the marketing firm pays for the data transfer costs when accessing the company's S3 bucket, thus minimizing the company's expenses. Option B incurs additional costs due to cross-region data transfer, while C does not address the cost concern. Option D also does not help with transfer costs and is focused on storage optimization.
