AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 88

An organization's security policy requires multiple copies of all critical data to be replicated across at least a primary and backup data center. The organization has decided to store some critical data on Amazon S3.
Which option should you implement to ensure this requirement is met?

Answer options

• A. Use the S3 copy API to replicate data between two S3 buckets in different regions
• B. You do not need to implement anything since S3 data is automatically replicated between regions
• C. Use the S3 copy API to replicate data between two S3 buckets in different facilities within an AWS Region
• D. You do not need to implement anything since S3 data is automatically replicated between multiple facilities within an AWS Region

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because Amazon S3 automatically replicates data across multiple facilities within an AWS Region, ensuring durability and availability. Options A and C suggest using the S3 copy API for replication, which is unnecessary for meeting the requirement since S3 already handles this. Option B incorrectly implies that replication occurs between regions, which is not the case for S3's default behavior.
