Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C02 topic 1 question 460 discussion

Answer (D) makes sense, since we are directing to have the logs stored in S3 and then have them moved to IA, since they are intermittently accessed after 90 days.

D is correct. only A and D can be targets for Flow Logs, but D meets storage requirement: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/flow-logs.html

A (CloudWatch Logs): CloudWatch is significantly more expensive for log storage compared to S3, especially for large datasets. The logs will still be accessed intermittently after 90 days.

It seems the question has been changed from "deleted" to "accessed intermittently". That explains why most votes lately are for "D"

D is the answer

Answer : D

D instead of A because we still need to access to the log after 90 days

Answer : D VPC flow logs targets are typically set to Cloudwatch or S3. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/flow-logs.html For those saying A, please refer to the below link. Though it is true that by default Cloudwatch stores data indefinitely, once a log group and associated retention period are defined then the logs are automatically deleted after the retention period expires. The scenario states that the logs will need to be accessed intermittently after the 90-day period, hence the only logical choice for storage based on the aforementioned options is S3. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/logs/Working-with-log-groups-and-streams.html

Check "intermittently" in the dictionairy - it cannot be deleted.

Answer D because it is accessed intermittently which means occasionally No question of deletion Please read carefully

intermittently means wont be used that much. It does not mean delete as others have stated.

A - I literally deal with analyzing VPC flow logs on a weekly basis. Best practice suggests Cloudwatch as Target, CW Insights to run queries on the logs and log group expiration (a native CW feature) to delete logs after X days.

I'll go with D, "Deleted Occasionally" means logs are not supposed to be deleted after exactly 90 days.

Answer is D.

The keyword is 'occassionally', it is just an odd way of saying after 90 days the files are accessed occasionally..so definitely D

I prefer D

After 90 days Logs Need to be DELETED. Option D does not state this.
