AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 434

Which of the following size ranges is true of Individual Amazon S3 objects?

Answer options

• A. 5 gigabytes to 5 terabytes
• B. 0 bytes to 5 terabytes
• C. 100 megabytes to 5 gigabytes
• D. 1 byte to 5 gigabytes

Correct answer: B

Explanation

An individual Amazon S3 object can range in size from a minimum of 0 bytes to a maximum of 5 terabytes. While a single PUT operation can only upload objects up to 5 gigabytes, larger objects up to the 5 terabytes limit must be uploaded using the Multipart Upload API. The other options are incorrect because they either set the minimum size higher than 0 bytes or underestimate the maximum limit of 5 terabytes.
