AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 252

A system admin is managing buckets, objects and folders with AWS S3. Which of the below mentioned statements is true and should be taken in consideration by the sysadmin?

Answer options

• A. The folders support only ACL
• B. Both the object and bucket can have an Access Policy but folder cannot have policy
• C. Folders can have a policy
• D. Both the object and bucket can have ACL but folders cannot have ACL

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because both objects and buckets in AWS S3 can have Access Control Lists (ACLs) applied to them, while folders do not support ACLs. Option A is incorrect since folders do not exclusively use ACLs, option B is incorrect as it states folders can have policies when they cannot, and option C is false because folders cannot have a policy in AWS S3.
