AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional — Question 50

A user is creating a snapshot of an EBS volume. Which of the below statements is incorrect in relation to the creation of an EBS snapshot?

Answer options

• A. Its incremental
• B. It is a point in time backup of the EBS volume
• C. It can be used to create an AMI
• D. It is stored in the same AZ as the volume

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because EBS snapshots are stored in Amazon S3, which is not tied to the same Availability Zone (AZ) as the original volume. Options A, B, and C are accurate statements about EBS snapshots, as they are incremental, provide point-in-time backups, and can indeed be used to create AMIs.
