[All SCS-C03 Questions]

A company's data scientists use Amazon SageMaker with datasets stored in Amazon S3. Data older than 45 days must be removed according to policy.

Which action should enforce this policy?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Amazon S3 Lifecycle rules are the native and most efficient way to enforce data retention policies. AWS Certified Security -- Specialty documentation recommends lifecycle rules over custom automation to reduce operational complexity and failure risk.

Lifecycle rules automatically and reliably delete objects after a specified age, ensuring compliance without additional compute services. Lambda-based solutions increase cost and management overhead. Intelligent-Tiering manages storage cost, not data deletion.

Not sure if A) is enough; what if data is uploaded frequently?

I’m surprised there’s no option for real-time deletion!

Wait, why not just use C)? Monthly sounds better.

D seems off to me; Intelligent-Tiering is more about cost optimization, not data deletion. I would lean towards A or C for this policy.

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think C could be a valid approach as well. A scheduled Lambda function could manage old data, but it might not be as efficient as A.

I'm not entirely sure, but B sounds like it could work too. A Lambda function on upload might help, but it feels a bit complex for just deleting old data.

I think the best option is A, configuring an S3 Lifecycle rule. It seems like the most straightforward way to handle data expiration.
