AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate — Question 449

A SysOps administrator wants to upload a file that is 1 TB in size from on-premises to an Amazon S3 bucket using multipart uploads.
What should the SysOps administrator do to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Upload the file using the S3 console.
• B. Use the s3api copy-object command.
• C. Use the s3api put-object command.
• D. Use the s3 cp command

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The AWS CLI high-level 's3 cp' command automatically performs multipart uploads in the background for large files. Conversely, the Amazon S3 console has a maximum limit of 160 GB for single file uploads, and 's3api put-object' does not automatically handle multipart uploads. The 's3api copy-object' command is used for copying existing objects within S3, not uploading local files.
