Replication. When setting replication, what is replicated, currently existing objects, only new objects, or both?

Only new objects

Replication? How do you replicate currently existing objects? Use the force With setting up replication rule, say "yes" to option for "batch replication object" Click the "currently existing objects" box Copy objects to another folder, delete current objects, copy objects back over

When setting up a replication rule, you can say "yes" to the option for a "batch replication object"

Before you can delete a bucket, what action must be taken? Thoughts and prayers Check the "recurse all directories" box Check the "objects in this bucket" box Delete all objects from within that bucket

You must delete all objects from within that bucket.

Replication. What are the two types of replication? SRR - same region replication BRR - Boring Region replication XRR - eXtreme Region replication CRR - Cross Region replication

SRR - same region replication

Replication. Copying is 1. synchronous 2. asynchronous

2. asynchronous

What does durability mean? What is the durability percentage and to which S3 classes does it apply to?

Durability correlates to the chances of losing a file (it getting deleted). The durability percentage is 99.99999999999 or 11 9s. You can expect to incur a single object loss every 10,000 years. The durability is the same for all S3 storage classes
