SOA-C02 Question 331
Select 2A company is uploading large video files to an Amazon S3 bucket and wants to optimize the upload performance. They also require the content to be accessible globally with reduced latency for end users. Which combination of features should the company implement?
- A
Use S3 Transfer Acceleration to enable faster uploads from geographically distant locations.
- B
Use multipart uploads to divide large files into smaller parts and upload them in parallel.
- C
Enable S3 Intelligent-Tiering to automatically move objects between storage tiers based on access patterns.
- D
Use S3 Lifecycle policies to archive objects to S3 Glacier after upload.
- E
Host the S3 bucket in the region closest to the majority of upload sources.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B
Explanation
To optimize the upload performance for large video files, S3 Transfer Acceleration can speed up uploads from distant locations, while multipart uploads enhance efficiency by uploading parts of a file in parallel. These features are specific to improving upload performance, which aligns with the company's requirements.
- A. Correct.
S3 Transfer Acceleration uses AWS CloudFront edge locations to accelerate uploads over long distances, significantly improving performance for geographically distant users.
- B. Correct.
Multipart uploads allow large files to be divided into smaller parts and uploaded in parallel, which improves upload efficiency and reliability.
- C. Incorrect.
S3 Intelligent-Tiering is used for cost optimization based on access patterns, not for improving upload performance.
- D. Incorrect.
S3 Lifecycle policies are for managing object transitions between storage classes and do not impact upload performance.
- E. Incorrect.
Hosting the S3 bucket in a closer region may help with latency, but it does not directly optimize uploads for large files or for global access.
