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.

Answers
D.
Lock the EBS snapshots to prevent deletion.
Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

EBS snapshots are point-in-time backups of EBS volumes that can be used to restore data or create new volumes. EBS snapshots can be locked to prevent accidental deletion using a feature called EBS Snapshot Lock. When a snapshot is locked, it cannot be deleted by any user, including the root user, until it is unlocked. The lock policy can also specify a retention period, after which the snapshot can be deleted. This solution will meet the requirements with the least administrative effort, as it does not require any code development or policy changes.
