AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate — Question 102

A SysOps administrator recently configured Amazon S3 Cross-Region Replication on an S3 bucket.

Which of the following does this feature replicate to the destination S3 bucket by default?

Answer options

• A. Objects in the source S3 bucket for which the bucket owner does not have permissions
• B. Objects that are stored in S3 Glacier
• C. Objects that existed before replication was configured
• D. Object metadata

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as Cross-Region Replication replicates object metadata by default. Options A and B are incorrect because permissions and S3 Glacier objects are not replicated, and option C is wrong since only objects created after replication is configured will be replicated.
