Question

A company stores its internal data within an Amazon S3 bucket. All existing data within the S3 bucket is protected by using server-side encryption with Amazon S3 managed encryption keys (SSE-S3). S3 Versioning is enabled. A SysOps administrator must replicate the internal data to another S3 bucket in a different AWS account for disaster recovery. All the existing data is copied from the source S3 bucket to the destination S3 bucket. Which replication solution is MOST operationally efficient?

  • AAdd a replication rule to the source bucket and specify the destination bucket. Create a bucket
  • BSchedule an AWS Batch job with Amazon EventBridge to copy new objects from the source
  • CConfigure an Amazon S3 event notification for the source bucket to invoke an AWS Lambda
  • DRun a scheduled script on an Amazon EC2 instance to copy new objects from the source bucket

Explanation

Setting up replication when source and destination buckets are owned by different AWS accounts is similar to setting replication when both buckets are owned by the same account. The only difference is that the destination bucket owner must grant the source bucket owner permission to replicate objects by adding a bucket policy. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/replication-walkthrough-2.html
