D is interesting, but I’d need more info on that approach.

Wait, are we really dividing indexers by three? Sounds weird.

Dividing the number of indexers by three seems off to me; I don't think that's a standard method for sizing search heads.

I practiced a similar question where we had to consider CPU cores, but I can't remember if it was about ingest volume or searches.

I think option D sounds familiar; it might be about concurrent searches, but I can't recall the exact details.

This seems straightforward. I'll go with option D - estimating the maximum concurrent searches and dividing by the CPU cores.

Okay, I've got this. The issue is that the artifacts are currently accessible to anyone with an AWS account, so we need to lock that down. Option C, creating an S3 bucket policy to grant read access to the relevant accounts and deny access to everyone else, is definitely the way to go.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know we need to be careful when testing a cloud-based app, but I'm not sure if option B is the right way to go. Trying to evade the provider's detection systems could get us in trouble.
