[All SAA-C03 Questions]

A company stores multiple Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) in an AWS account to launch its Amazon EC2 instances. The AMIs contain critical data and configurations that are necessary for the company's operations. The company wants to implement a solution that will recover accidentally deleted AMIs quickly and efficiently.

Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Recycle Bin is a data recovery feature that enables you to restore accidentally deleted Amazon EBS snapshots and EBS-backed AMIs. When using Recycle Bin, if your resources are deleted, they are retained in the Recycle Bin for a time period that you specify before being permanently deleted. You can restore a resource from the Recycle Bin at any time before its retention period expires. This solution has the least operational overhead, as you do not need to create, copy, or upload any additional resources. You can also manage tags and permissions for AMIs in the Recycle Bin. AMIs in the Recycle Bin do not incur any additional charges.Reference:

Exactly! And we can set the S3 bucket to have a longer retention period, just in case. Plus, it's probably the least operationally intensive option.

Ah, good catch, Tonja. In that case, the S3 option with Cross-Region Replication might be the way to go. It provides a more long-term solution and ensures the AMIs are replicated to another region.

Haha, good one, Cathrine! Yeah, versioning is a must. Otherwise, we might as well just write our AMIs on Post-It notes and hope for the best.

I agree, the S3 option with Cross-Region Replication sounds like the winner here. It's the most comprehensive and future-proof solution. *chuckles* Just don't forget to enable versioning, or you might end up with a bunch of 'AMI Bites the Dust' versions.

A) Create Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) snapshots of the AMIs. Store the snapshots in a separate AWS account.
