Question 765 - SAA-C03 discussion

Report
Export

A company runs a self-managed Microsoft SOL Server on Amazon EC2 instances and Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS). Daily snapshots are taken of the EBS volumes.

Recently, all the company's EBS snapshots were accidentally deleted while running a snapshot cleaning script that deletes all expired EBS snapshots. A solutions architect needs to update the architecture to prevent data loss without retaining EBS snapshots indefinitely.

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

A.
Change the 1AM policy of the user to deny EBS snapshot deletion.

D.
Copy EBS snapshots to Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA).
Answers
D.
Copy EBS snapshots to Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA).
Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

Requirement Analysis: The goal is to prevent accidental deletion of EBS snapshots while avoiding indefinite retention.

Recycle Bin for EBS Snapshots: AWS Recycle Bin allows for retention rules that prevent immediate deletion of snapshots, providing a safety net against accidental deletions.

Retention Rule: A 7-day retention rule ensures snapshots are not permanently deleted immediately, giving time to recover from accidental deletions.

Implementation:

Enable Recycle Bin in your AWS account.

Create a retention rule that specifies a 7-day period for EBS snapshots.

Apply this rule to all EBS snapshots.

Conclusion: This solution provides an automated way to prevent data loss from accidental deletions with minimal development effort.
