Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03
Question #: 675
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 Questions]

A company uses Amazon EC2 instances and Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes to run an application. The company creates one snapshot of each EBS volume every day to meet compliance requirements. The company wants to implement an architecture that prevents the accidental deletion of EBS volume snapshots. The solution must not change the administrative rights of the storage administrator user.

Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST administrative effort?

  • A. Create an IAM role that has permission to delete snapshots. Attach the role to a new EC2 instance. Use the AWS CLI from the new EC2 instance to delete snapshots.
  • B. Create an IAM policy that denies snapshot deletion. Attach the policy to the storage administrator user.
  • C. Add tags to the snapshots. Create retention rules in Recycle Bin for EBS snapshots that have the tags.
  • D. Lock the EBS snapshots to prevent deletion.

Selected Answer: D
Locking EBS Snapshots (Option D): The "lock" feature in AWS allows you to prevent accidental deletion of resources, including EBS snapshots. This can be set at the snapshot level, providing a straightforward and effective way to meet the requirements without changing the administrative rights of the storage administrator user.

Selected Answer: C
D is not right 'Enable the Snapshot Lock feature on important snapshots to prevent any deletion attempts even the administrator. To prevent accidental deletion of EBS volume snapshots, the most effective method is to enable the "Recycle Bin" feature in AWS, which temporarily stores deleted snapshots for a specified retention period, allowing you to recover them if needed
