Salesforce Certified Data Cloud Consultant — Question 25

A customer is trying to activate data from Data Cloud to an Amazon S3 Cloud File Storage Bucket.
Which authentication type should the consultant recommend to connect to the S3 bucket from Data Cloud?

Answer options

• A. Use a JWT Token generated on S3.
• B. Use an S3 Private Key Certificate.
• C. Use an S3 Encrypted Username and Password.
• D. Use an S3 Access Key and Secret Key.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the S3 Access Key and Secret Key are specifically designed for authenticating API requests to Amazon S3. Options A, B, and C are not valid methods for connecting to S3 as they do not conform to AWS authentication protocols.
