AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 432

What is the maximum size of an object in Amazon S3?

Answer options

• A. 4 TB
• B. Unlimited
• C. 5 TB
• D. 500 MB

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The maximum size of a single object stored in Amazon S3 is 5 TB. While the total volume of data and number of objects in an S3 bucket are virtually unlimited, individual uploads are capped at this 5 TB threshold. For objects larger than 100 MB, AWS recommends using the Multipart Upload API to optimize upload speed and reliability.
