Question 67 of 100 | ← Chapter 11

Q767. A company wants to back up its on-premises virtual machines (VMs) to AWS. The company's backup solution exports on-premises backups to an Amazon S3 bucket as objects. The S3 backups must be retained for 30 days and must be automatically deleted after 30 days.Which combination of steps will meet these requirements? (Choose three.)

Correct Answer: A. Create an S3 bucket that has S3 Object Lock enabled., C. Configure a default retention period of 30 days for the objects., E. Configure an S3 Lifecycle policy to expire the objects after 30 days.

Explanation

Option A: Create an S3 bucket that has S3 Object Lock enabled:Enabling S3 Object Lock ensures that the objects in the S3 bucket cannot be deleted or modified for a specified retention period. This protects the backups from accidental or malicious deletion.Option C: Configure a default retention period of 30 days for the objects:By setting a default retention period of 30 days for the objects in the S3 bucket, you ensure that the backups cannot be deleted or modified before the specified period. This protects the backups from accidental or malicious deletion.Option E: Configure an S3 Lifecycle policy to expire the objects after 30 days:An S3 Lifecycle policy allows you to define rules for the lifecycle management of objects in an S3 bucket. By configuring a lifecycle policy to expire the objects after 30 days, you ensure that the backups are automatically deleted once the retention period is over.Here's why the other options are not the correct choices:Option B suggests creating an S3 bucket with object versioning enabled. While object versioning provides a way to preserve, retrieve, and restore every version of every object in the S3 bucket, it does not address the automatic deletion requirement after 30 days.Option D suggests configuring an S3 Lifecycle policy to protect the objects for 30 days. While this would ensure that the objects are not deleted for the specified period, it does not automatically delete the objects after 30 days.Option F suggests configuring the backup solution to tag the objects with a 30-day retention period. While tagging can be used for organizing and categorizing objects, it does not provide the automatic deletion of objects after the retention period.Therefore, the correct combination of steps to meet the requirements of retaining on-premises backups in an Amazon S3 bucket for 30 days and automatically deleting them after 30 days is:A. Create an S3 bucket that has S3 Object Lock enabled.C. Configure a default retention period of 30 days for the objects.E. Configure an S3 Lifecycle policy to expire the objects after 30 days.
