  1. Which S3 storage class automatically moves data between frequent and infrequent access tiers based on changing access patterns without retrieval fees?

    Answer: S3 Intelligent-Tiering

    S3 Intelligent-Tiering monitors access patterns and automatically moves objects between tiers to optimize costs, with no retrieval charges.

  2. An EBS volume in us-east-1a needs to be used by an EC2 instance in us-east-1b. What must be done?

    Answer: Create a snapshot and restore it in the target AZ

    EBS volumes are locked to a single Availability Zone; to move to another AZ, you must create a snapshot and restore it in the target AZ.

  3. Which Amazon S3 feature enables low-latency access to frequently accessed objects while storing the full dataset in S3?

    Answer: S3 Transfer Acceleration

    S3 Transfer Acceleration uses CloudFront edge locations to speed up uploads and downloads to S3 over long distances.

  4. Which EBS volume type is recommended for boot volumes and general-purpose workloads on AWS?

    Answer: gp3 (General Purpose SSD)

    gp3 is the latest general-purpose SSD EBS volume type, recommended for most workloads including boot volumes, offering a good balance of price and performance.

  5. A startup stores user-generated images in S3 but wants to query only specific metadata fields without downloading each file. Which S3 feature helps?

    Answer: S3 Select

    S3 Select allows you to retrieve a subset of data from within an S3 object using SQL expressions, reducing data transfer costs.

  6. Which AWS service is used to synchronize on-premises file systems or S3 buckets to another AWS storage service with automated scheduling?

    Answer: AWS DataSync

    AWS DataSync is a managed data transfer service that automates moving data between on-premises storage, S3, EFS, and FSx on a schedule.

  7. Which characteristic makes Amazon S3 inherently different from Amazon EBS?

    Answer: S3 is object storage accessible via HTTP; EBS is block storage attached to EC2

    S3 is an object storage service accessed via HTTP/HTTPS APIs, while EBS provides block-level storage volumes attached directly to EC2 instances.
