AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C03) — Question 975

A global company runs its applications in multiple AWS accounts in AWS Organizations. The company's applications use multipart uploads to upload data to multiple Amazon S3 buckets across AWS Regions. The company wants to report on incomplete multipart uploads for cost compliance purposes.

Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

Answer options

• A. Configure AWS Config with a rule to report the incomplete multipart upload object count.
• B. Create a service control policy (SCP) to report the incomplete multipart upload object count.
• C. Configure S3 Storage Lens to report the incomplete multipart upload object count.
• D. Create an S3 Multi-Region Access Point to report the incomplete multipart upload object count.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Amazon S3 Storage Lens provides organization-wide visibility into object storage usage and activity, including specific metrics for tracking incomplete multipart uploads across multiple accounts and regions with minimal configuration. AWS Config rules and Service Control Policies (SCPs) are not designed to natively aggregate and report object-level S3 metrics like incomplete multipart upload counts. S3 Multi-Region Access Points are used to route client traffic to regional buckets rather than serving as a reporting tool for storage metrics.
