SAP-C02 Question 665
Select 2A media company needs to store a large archive of video files that are rarely accessed but must be retrieved within minutes when needed. Cost optimization is a key priority. Additionally, compliance requires that data be replicated across multiple AWS Regions. Which combination of solutions should the company implement?
- A
Store the video files in Amazon S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval and enable cross-region replication.
- B
Store the video files in Amazon S3 Intelligent-Tiering and enable cross-region replication.
- C
Store the video files in Amazon S3 Standard-IA and enable cross-region replication.
- D
Use Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive and replicate data manually to another region.
- E
Store the video files in Amazon S3 One Zone-IA and enable cross-region replication.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B
Explanation
The company requires cost-optimized storage for infrequently accessed video files with retrieval times in minutes and compliance with multi-region replication. Amazon S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval and Amazon S3 Intelligent-Tiering are the best solutions for this use case. Both options provide cost-effective storage and support cross-region replication while meeting the retrieval time requirement. Other options either fail to meet the retrieval time, cost optimization, or compliance requirements.
- A. Correct.
Amazon S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval is suitable for infrequently accessed data with retrieval times in minutes. Enabling cross-region replication ensures compliance with multi-region storage requirements.
- B. Correct.
Amazon S3 Intelligent-Tiering is cost-effective for data with unpredictable access patterns, and enabling cross-region replication addresses compliance requirements.
- C. Incorrect.
Amazon S3 Standard-IA is designed for infrequently accessed data but is more expensive than S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval or Intelligent-Tiering for this use case. It is less cost-optimal for the given scenario.
- D. Incorrect.
Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive is the lowest-cost storage option but does not meet the requirement for retrieval within minutes. Also, manual replication would introduce operational overhead.
- E. Incorrect.
Amazon S3 One Zone-IA does not replicate data across multiple regions, and it does not meet compliance requirements for multi-region replication.
