Standard (Frequently Accessed)

20. What is Glacier?

Glacier is a low-cost storage service used for long-term backup and archival of data.

21. How can you secure access to an S3 bucket?

You can secure an S3 bucket using:

ACL (Access Control List)

Bucket Policies

IAM Policies (commonly used)

22. How can you encrypt data in S3?

S3 supports:

SSE-S3 (Server-Side

Encryption using AES-256)

SSE-KMS (AWS Key

Management Service)

SSE-C (Customer-provided

keys)

23. What are the parameters for S3 pricing?

S3 pricing depends on:

Storage used

Number of requests

Data transfer

Storage management

Transfer acceleration

24. What is the prerequisite for Cross-Region Replication (CRR) in S3?

Requirements:

Enable Versioning on both source and destination buckets.

Source and destination buckets must be in different AWS regions.

25. What are IAM Roles?

IAM Roles provide temporary permissions to AWS services or users without using permanent credentials. They are commonly used by EC2, Lambda, and other AWS services.

25. What are IAM Roles?
