Because of regulatory requirements,the company must retain backup files for a specific time period.The company must not alter the files for the duration of the retention period.Which solution will meet these requirements?

• A. Use AWS Backup to create a backup vault that has a vault lock in governance mode. Create the required backup plan
• B. Use Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager to create the required automated snapshot policy
• C. Use Amazon S3 File Gateway to create the backup. Configure the appropriate S3 Lifecycle management
• D. Use AWS Backup to create a backup vault that has a vault lock in compliance mode. Create the required backup plan ✓

Correct Answer: D. Use AWS Backup to create a backup vault that has a vault lock in compliance mode. Create the required backup plan

Explanation

The correct solution that meets the given requirements is option D: Use AWS Backup to create a backup vault that has a vault lock in compliance mode and create the required backup plan. AWS Backup is a fully managed backup service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that centralizes and automates the backup of data across various AWS services, including EC2 instances and S3 buckets. It simplifies the process of creating and managing backups, making it easier to meet regulatory requirements.By creating a backup vault with a vault lock in compliance mode, the company ensures that the backup files stored in the vault cannot be altered or deleted for the duration of the retention period. This helps maintain data integrity and compliance with regulatory requirements. Additionally, using AWS Backup allows for the creation of a backup plan tailored to the company's needs. The backup plan defines the backup schedule, retention periods, and other parameters for the backups. This enables the company to specify the desired time period for retaining the backup files as mandated by the regulatory requirements.Option A is incorrect because it suggests using the vault lock in governance mode, which does not guarantee the immutability of the backup files.Option B is incorrect because Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager is primarily used for automating the lifecycle management of EBS snapshots, not for backing up EC2 data and S3 buckets. Option C is incorrect because using Amazon S3 File Gateway and configuring S3 Lifecycle management alone does not provide a comprehensive backup solution for both EC2 data and multiple S3 buckets.
