IAM & S3 Flashcards
Are credentials region centric in IAM, when created?
No, it is universal
Are delete markers replicated
yes
Are deletions (delete markers) replicated in Cross Region Replication Replication?
Yes
Are edge location read only?
No, you can write and it will replicate to origin
Are Edge locations writable?
Yes
Are IAM configurations global or regional?
Global
Are lifecycle rules available only for the current version?
No. Lifecycle rules are also available for previous versions.
Are S3 buckets by default public or private?
By default, all newly created buckets are private (and also all objects stored inside them)
Are the Access Key ID/Secret Access Key like a password?
No, you cannot use the Access Key ID/Secret Access Key to login to the AWS Console. You can use this to access AWS via the APIs and Command Line however.
Are the deletions of delete markers replicated in Region Replication Replication?
No
Are the deletions of individual versions replicated in Region Replication Replication?
No
By default all buckets are public?
No
By default, when you create a new user in the IAM console, what level of access do they have?
No access to any AWS service
Can be versioning on S3 disabled?
No. It can only be suspended
Can Cross Region Replication be used between buckets of the same region?
No
Can Cross Region Replication be used to replicate to multiple buckets or use daisy chaining?
No
Can folders in S3 be tagged?
No. Folders don’t really exist on S3. In Amazon S3, buckets and objects are the primary resources, where objects are stored in buckets. Amazon S3 has a flat structure with no hierarchy like you would see in a file system. However, for the sake of organizational simplicity, the Amazon S3 console supports the folder concept as a means of grouping objects. Amazon S3 does this by using a shared name prefix for objects (that is, objects that have names that begin with a common string). Object names are also referred to as key names. For example, you can create a folder in the console called photos, and store an object named myphoto.jpg in it. The object is then stored with the key name photos/myphoto.jpg, where photos/ is the prefix.
Can lifecycle policies capture versions also?
Yes
Can S3 be used to host static websites?
Yes (serverless, very cheap, scales automatically, no dynamic site hosting)
Can you clear data from edge cache?
Yes, but at a cost
Can you configure multiple bucket replication?
no
Can you create and customize your own password rotation policies?
Yes
Can you have two buckets with the same name?
No. S3 is a universal namespace and names must be globally unique
Can you install a DB in S3?
No. Its object based not block based
